Simple Plex for COVID-19 Research

Real-Time Biological Phenotyping

When researching an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and the resulting and deadly COVID-19 disease, speed and data quality are key. Ella enables cytokine and pro-inflammatory biomarker immunoassays in a multianalyte, automated and standardized format. Get the most reliable immunoassay results in real time with Ella.

  • After loading the cartridge, data is available in just 75 minutes, getting you to critical decision points faster
  • Factory calibrated cartridges and built-in standard curves minimize inter-lot variability allowing you to get the same measurement anywhere
  • 80% reduction in manual steps eliminates operator error and inconsistent results

How Ella is Helping During COVID-19

Ella is at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19. The Human Immune Monitoring Center at Mount Sinai is leveraging the high-quality data and real-time results of Ella to understand if an immunologic response during COVID-19 is turning deadly. This insight is helping them determine if novel immuno-modulating therapies have the potential to mediate response to the virus.

Watch this virtual meeting organized by the NIH and FDA, to learn more about the role of cytokines in COVID-19 and how researchers at Mount Sinai established a rapid and quantitative cytokine test on Ella to obtain actionable immune monitoring data during the management of COVID-19 patients.

PROFILING HOST RESPONSES IN COVID-19 INFECTIONS: ACCELERATING BIOMARKER RESEARCH WITH ELLA

Profiling Host Responses in COVID-19 Infections, Dr.Bermejo-Martín

"A major advantage of Ella is that it’s very easy to use with virtually no maintenance, and it’s really fast. Simply dilute your sample and you’re ready to go—without the need for manual preparations that can take time and add user variability."

- Dr. Jesús F Bermejo-Martín, Principal Investigator, Institute of Biomedical Research of Salamanca (IBSAL)/Hospital Universitario Río Hortega de Valladolid

Ella Promises Better Clinical Care for Acute Respiratory Failure and Sepsis

Immune Response to SARS-Cov-2 Researcher, Dr. Tan

"Timely results from Ella have the potential to direct treatment for acute diseases where administration needs to take place in a matter of hours."

- Michael Matthay, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Medicine, University of California San Francisco

Characterizing T-cell Immune Responses Against SARS-CoV-2 with Ella

Immune Response to SARS-Cov-2 Researcher, Dr. Tan

"Ella is a simple and fast immunoassay platform that would be ideal for implementation in higher biosafety facilities, like BSL-3, to study the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection."

- Anthony Tanoto Tan, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow, Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore
