6 Immunoassay Development & Validation Immunoassay development begins with an in-depth consultation with our scientific team. Project feasibility is determined based on the availability of assay components, compatibility of reagents with the desired assay and other project-specific parameters. ebioscience can also assist with reviewing publications, sourcing reagents and forming third-party collaborations. Three-Phase Development 1. Feasibility and Proof of Concept Assay design: immunoassay format, sample matrix, sensitivity and dynamic range Identify reagents required for optimal results Preliminarily define assay characteristics and performance 2. Developmental Phase Establish assay parameters, e.g. limit of detection Define working range and sensitivity Evaluate matrix effects and assay reproducibility 3. Assay Validation and Tech Transfer Assess reagent stability and robustness Measure inter- and intra-assay reproducibility, accuracy and specificity Sample screening and analysis platform compatibility Scale up and transfer to high-throughput stages 10

Customizable Immunoassay Platforms Platinum ELISA Kits Platinum ELISA kits are standard sandwich immunoassays. Instant ELISA Instant ELISA technology represents a major improvement of the established sandwich ELISA. The name instant says it all: adding the sample is all that is needed to start the assay. There is no laborious preparation of reagents, serial dilution of standards or their sequential addition to the plate. In contrast to conventional ELISA protocols, the Instant ELISA plate contains coating antibody and lyophilized detection antibody, streptavidin-hrp and sample diluent. Additional wells containing the ready-to-use standard curve are provided separately. High-Sensitivity ELISA Kits High Sensitivity ELISAs provide a solution for difficult-to-detect, low-expressing proteins from serum, plasma or cell culture samples. Improved sensitivity is made possible by the inherent design of further enhancing the signal obtained from conventional HRP-based ELISA. The signal amplification step, using biotinylated Tyramid, results in an increased sensitivity without loss of resolution or increase in background. Sensitive Detect low cytokine concentrations 1.0 pg/ml for reliable quantification Low Sample Volume 50 μl sample volume required. Ideal for limited sample resources Use Existing Instrumentation Standard colorimetric plate reader with absorption measurement at 450 nm Standard ELISA Key Absorbance Reading High Sensitivity ELISA High Sensitivity ELISA Solution The amount of reacted biotinyl-tyramide is proportional Detection Substrate to the amount of HRP in the well. Following incubation, unbound biotinylated Tyramide Streptavidin is removed during a wash step. Biotinyl Tyramide HRP After removal of excess biotin-tyramide from the wells, streptavidin-hrp (Amplification Reagent II) is added, and binds to the additional biotin sites created during Biotinylated Detection Antibody the biotin-tyramide reaction. This amplification step effectively multiplies the quantity of HRP molecules for Antigen the final TMB substrate reaction. Capture Antibody 11
