A 1,000-fold boost of the sensitivity of conventional ELISA technology is
possible by combination of LDNīs EIA technology and the Chimera Biotec Imperacer
kit. Shown are representative results for the detection of serotonin using
the conventional serotonin competitive ELISA (blue curve) and the improved
Imperacer signal readout (red curve). Note the increase in sensitivity,
the small error bars and the large dynamic range of the Imperacer detection.
(b) Fast and precise signal detection in real-time with Imperacer. Using
the serotonin ELISA as a platform for Imperacer signal amplification, 0.4
pg/ml serotonin can be reliably detected. For each concentration, a double
determination is shown here. Note the high reproducibility of the signal
curves, which underlines the robust sensitivity and precision of the technology.
