Simple Plex for Neurofilament Research
and other Neuroscience Biomarkers
Sensitive Data for Neuroscience Biomarker Research
Simple Plex assays on Ella give you the combination of sensitivity and reproducibility you need to advance your neuroscience biomarker research.
Simple Plex assays provide high quality data on low abundance biomarkers in serum, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, and Ella provides a fully integrated and automated workflow to give you data in just 90 minutes.
With Ella's automation you also get an extremely high level of reproducibility and reliability. Simple Plex assays reduce manual operation and provide a rock-solid platform for your research.
Simple Plex Assays for Neuroscience
With immunoassays developed by industry leader R&D Systems, Ella gives you the data you need to power your neuroscience research with a high level of automation, validation and reliability.
Neurofilament Light (NF-L) in Serum and Plasma
Neurofilament light chain has been implicated as an important biomarker for a number of neurological disorders. The Simple Plex neurofilament light assay can quantify this biomarker in serum and plasma samples to provide highly robust and reproducible data.
Highly Sensitive and Reproducible NF-L Measurements
With the Simple Plex NF-L assay on Ella you get measurements on an automated, robust and reproducible immunoassay platform. In our application note we demonstrate how Ella provides highly reproducible NF-L measurements even at the low levels detected in serum and plasma.
Learn how to bring your NF-L research to the next level with Ella.
NF-L and NF-H as Important Indicators of Neurodegeneration and Preeclampsia
Neurofilament heavy and light chains are associated with a number of pathological conditions, and both individually and in conjunction are promising better diagnosis and monitoring of a number of diseases. Learn how researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School and Cedars-Sinai in collaboration with Bio-Techne are exploring the promise of NF-L and NF-H as biomarkers.
