Bio-Techne Grant Foundation Program

Stretch your grant dollars further

Program Overview

ProteinSimple is pleased to extend our grant program to offer funding towards Ella™, our novel automated immunoassay platform. For institutions who otherwise may not be able to afford to purchase an Ella, the Bio-Techne Grant Foundation may provide additional financial support. All academic or government labs qualify, but only those with a scientifically compelling need will be granted funding.

Meet Ella, Your Immunoassay Problem Solver

Immunoassays come with lots of challenges. Even after multiple steps, hours in the lab, and hours analyzing data, results are only acceptable at best. Not anymore. Meet Ella.

Her automated Simple Plex assays are hands-free, single or multi-analyte with no cross-reactivity, and reproducible even across multiple labs. All those issues you deal with every day? Gone.
