Research Kits
Explore our curated collection of high-performance research kits designed for reliable, reproducible results in life science applications. Whether you're quantifying proteins or detecting biomarkers, we offer robust solutions for your research needs.
Antibody Pairs
Our Antibody Pairs are carefully selected for optimal performance in sandwich immunoassays, including ELISA and lateral flow. Each pair includes matched capture and detection antibodies validated for target specificity and sensitivity.
ELISA Kits
Designed for precise quantification of proteins, cytokines, and biomarkers, our ELISA kits include pre-coated plates and ready-to-use reagents. Ideal for researchers seeking accuracy, reproducibility, and ease of use across multiple sample types.
CLIA Kits
CLIA (Chemiluminescent Immunoassay) Kits deliver superior sensitivity through enzyme-enhanced detection. Suitable for low-abundance analytes, our CLIA kits offer high-throughput capability and are optimized for minimal background noise.

Choosing a Kit
| Format | Sensitivity (LOD) | Dynamic range | Sample volume | Assay time | Matrix compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELISA (sandwich) | Low pg/mL | ~2–3 logs | 50–100 µL | 3–5 h | Serum, plasma, CSF, supernatant |
| CLIA | Sub-pg/mL | ~3–4 logs | 20–50 µL | 2–3 h | As above; higher sensitivity |
| Antibody pairs | Format-dependent | Custom | Custom | Custom | Build your assay |
Validation & QC
Each kit’s Certificate of Analysis (COA) reports key performance metrics to confirm accuracy, precision and matrix compatibility. Review spike/recovery (expected 80–120%), linearity of dilution (parallelism; target R² ≥ 0.98), intra/inter-assay CVs (≤10% / ≤15%), and the stated LOD/LOQ for your sample type. Use these values to set acceptance criteria, compare kits, and ensure reproducible results across plates, operators, and instruments.
| Attribute | Typical info | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Spike & recovery | 80–120% | Matrix effects & accuracy |
| Linearity of dilution | R² ≥ 0.98 | Parallelism across dilutions |
| Intra/Inter-assay CV | ≤10% / ≤15% | Reproducibility |
| LOD/LOQ | Kit-specific | Sensitivity and range |
ELISA vs CLIA
ELISA and CLIA measure the same analytes but differ in detection chemistry, sensitivity, and instrumentation. Use ELISA for routine quantification on standard plate readers with straightforward workflows; choose CLIA when you need higher sensitivity, wider dynamic range, or shorter assay times using a luminometer. Compare sensitivity (LOD), total time, throughput, and available equipment to pick the most practical format for your lab.
| Feature | ELISA | CLIA |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Low pg/mL | Sub-pg/mL |
| Readout | Colorimetric (450 nm) | Chemiluminescent |
| Throughput | High (plate readers) | High (luminometers) |
| Total time | 3–5 h | 2–3 h |
FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What should I check if my standard curve is non-linear? | Re-prepare the standards, confirm the reader settings, keep incubations uniform and verify wash stringency. |
| High background with serum samples? | Increase blocking, dilute samples further, and use matrix-matched standards. |
| Can I run CLIA on an ELISA reader? | No, CLIA needs a luminometer. Use ELISA if you only have absorbance. |
