SerumSub™ QualAssure®

Optimize Serum Volume in Workflows

Ensure the precision of your serum volume transfers, and the accuracy of your ELISA and other protein or cell based assays results.

With SerumSub you’ll be able to spend less time and reagents for optimizing your liquid handler and prevent errors and costly pipetting mistakes that may result from testing gravimetrically or not testing at all. The SerumSub solutions have been formulated to mimic the liquid handling properties of a variety of animal sera. Re-tests in ELISA, LCMS, PCR, Sequencing, etc. can be expensive due to cost of reagents and resources and can also be impossible due to potential unavailability of additional patient sample. Having the ability to test liquid handling parameters without wasting biological samples leads to faster and more efficient optimization of your dispensed volume in your assay.

  • Convenient
  • Easy-to-Use
  • Designed specifically for Artel MVS

SerumSub QualAssure solutions for MVS have been manufactured to match the rheological properties of human and various animal sera, allowing you to quickly and easily verify the volume of serum that is dispensed by your automated liquid handler. Regular aqueous solutions are too different to be used for optimization of serum liquid classes and serum is notoriously tricky to pipette. With that assays requiring serum samples are frequently trying to quantify small concentrations of hormones or other biological markers which makes accuracy of serum dispenses critical.

Creating liquid classes for serum is challenging and can even be wasteful, but with SerumSub you’ll be able to spend less time and reagents for optimizing your liquid handler and prevent errors and costly pipetting mistakes that may result from testing gravimetrically or not testing at all.

Using SerumSub is a reliable way to optimize automated liquid handlers so that they deliver the correct volume of serum. Delivering the expected volume of serum can have implications for reducing false or inconsistent results. SerumSub gives you the ability to easily fine tune a serum-like liquid class and prevent errors from the start.
