Genalyte has developed a revolutionary photonic multiplex detection technology, MaverickTM, which is being launched for commercial use in the autoimmune field. The methodology has broad application potential and has been used to detect blood biomarker proteins, virus particles, and nucleic acids. It provides a multiplex quantitative output that has already been validated at 128-plex, can scale to thousands, and has been demonstrated in whole blood, serum, and cell lysate. Designed around a proprietary consumable chip containing an array of Microring Sensors constructed from silicon photonics technology, the Maverick? MT-ADA assay streamlines immunogenicity testing by combining screening, confirmatory, and isotyping steps into a single assay providing real-time detection of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) without the use of dyes, fluorescent probes or radioactive labels. The design of the assay chip provides simultaneous ADA screening and confirmation of eight classes/isotypes in the same assay without additional effort or reagents. This inherent multiplexing ability also streamlines assay development by enabling assessment of assay sensitivity and free drug tolerance for total ADA and multiple classes/isotypes simultaneously.
