• Anti-SARS-Cov-2 Multiplex Serology Assay: one of the most sensitive and reliable SARS-CoV-2 assays.

  • Flow cytometry SARS-CoV-2 multiantigen test simultaneously target four separate SARS-Cov-2 viral proteins and 3 immunoglobulins.

  • we are working every day to open opportunities for a better understanding of the immune response and its evolution over time after vaccination. 

SARS-CoV-2 Multiplex IgG+IgA+IgM kits

Multiantigen IgG+IgA+IgM Assay is a multiplex, microsphere-based, highly sensitive and specific assay that measure the presence or absence of antibodies against four different SARS-CoV-2 antigens simultaneously. 

RBD 

Detecting SARS-CoV-2  neutralizing antibodies.

Spike 

Identifying immune response after vaccination.

Nucleocapsid

Identifying immune response to natural infection.

Mpro

Identifying immune response to viral replication.

Three Reporter Channels Simultaneously

Differentiating immune response by virus and vaccination.

This serological bead-based assay has demonstrated to provide a wider range of information about the immune system response to SARS-CoV-2 than any other assay in the market, and it is performed in just 2 hours.

ASSAY PERFORMANCE

ASSAY PROCEDURE

Qualitative  and quantitative analysis of the inmune response.

Different serology tests detect antibodies to different parts of the virus, after vaccination the antibodies formed will only be to one part of the virus (the spike protein). To understand if vaccination stimulated an antibody response, a test specifically designed for the antibodies of interest would need to be used.

This test presents a great opportunity because it gives so much information about the immune response based on the detection of 3 types of immunoglobulins and 4 specific SARS-CoV-2 antigens simultaneously, allowing us to differentiate the immune response for clinical infection and vaccination.

FAQS

How do I place an order if I am a laboratory or distributor?

You can place an order via email writing us to order@immunostep.com. Simply choose a kit and send us your order with the reference number stabished in the table.  You can also  contact us in +34 923 29 48 27 (Spain). 

CE/IVD kits are only suitable for clinical use in European Union and countries with EU conformity recognition agreements. Manufactured in Spain by Immunostep under CSIC Patent Licence.

How are the antibodies quantified?

The SARS-CoV-2 multiplex assay has been calibrated against the WHO First International Standard for Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin (Human), NIBSC Code 20/136.

In this sense, it is possible to quantitatively report the concentration of IgG immunoglobulins in International Units (IU / ml) against RBD or in United Antibody Units (BAU / ml) against S, N and Mpro. For this reason, the kit includes a calibrator or standard of known concentration with which to make a calibration line through serial dilutions to each of the viral antigens used in the test (RBD, S, N, Mpro) in which to interpolate the fluorescence values ​​resulting from the assay of the samples, thus obtaining the concentration in IU / ml or BAU / ml corresponding to each sample.
