Multiplex Assay Technology by APiT®

BIST® Technology for Multiplex signal detection

BIST® (Beads array In Single Tip) is a multiplex detection tool developed for automated simultaneous multi-item measurements.

1mm diameter beads coated with a single immobilized antibody, antigen or DNA fragment are lined up inside the BIST® tip. Sample is automatically pipetted through the tip, binding target substances to the beads. After an enzymatic reaction, signals can be detected and measured simultaneously from up to 20 different bead-targets.

PSS will support your application development using BIST®, including reagent prepacking, reaction process and detection automation.
