Singulex' proprietary single-molecule counting immunoassay technology helps overcome challenges in the translation of protein Moderator biomarkers to the clinic. Its improved precision has enabled the measurement of endogenous biomarker concentrations at femtogram levels and precise monitoring over time. The Singulex Erenna platform uses paramagnetic microparticles as the solid-phase support for immune capture and a digital counting system that detects single molecules as they pass through an interrogation space via capillary fow. This detection system results in a John Sterling Editor in Chief GEN count of discreet detection events above background rather than a sum of total fuorescence including background.
