MSD™ – Meso Scale Discovery

MSD Meso Scale Discovery electrochemiluminescence immunoassay platform large molecule analysis

The Immunogenicity Gold Standard

MSD-ECL from Meso Scale Discovery is a proven immunoassay platform for large molecule analysis. The ECL technology enables high sensitivity levels combined with broad assay range, making MSD™ ideal for immunogenicity testing, multiplex biomarker screening and cytokine assays.

We offer MSD™ immunoassays under GLP, GCP and non-regulated.

Chimera Biotec offers full Immuno-PCR testing service for all your bioanalytical needs. Check out our Biomarker Menu for available validated assays. We also develop an ultra-sensitive Imperacer® assay based on your specific requirements.

MSD™ | MESO SCALE DISCOVERY a MESO SCALE DIAGNOSTICS technology

In ECL immunoassays, the intensity of light signals emitted due to electricity applied to the plate electrodes is measured. Tripropylamine-containing buffers catalyze a dual redox reaction with Ruthenium emitting light at 620 nm. The MSD-ECL platform uses SULFO-TAG labeled antibodies – and since only labels near the electrode surface are detected – ensures low background noise.

Compared to traditional ELISA methods, the amplified MSD electrochemiluminescence labels yield higher sensitivity, a broad dynamic range and multiplex arrays allow the detection of several analytes from a single sample (e.g. whole blood, serum, plasma, supernatant).Low background and low interference also enable the quantification of analytes in complex matrices.

S-PLEX Technology

Enhanced sensitivity with TURBO-TAG: Optimized MSD™ procedure featuring innovative TURBO-BOOST and S-PLEX reagents

Modifying the standard MSD™ procedure, the TURBO-TAG label allows us to provide MSD service of improved sensitivity.

The detection antibody is labeled with TURBO-BOOST which is enhanced in an additional step and then bound by an electrochemiluminescence TURBO-TAG molecule. Additional S-PLEX reagents reduce non-specific signals.

Using the MSD GOLD Read Buffer, the applied voltage causes the captured TURBO-TAG labels to emit light.

V-Plex Technology

V-Plex: Precise validation and comprehensive certificates of analysis for maximum reliability

The “V” stands for validated, since V-Plex plates undergo an accurate validation and are shipped with a certificate of analysis (CofA).
The validation includes:

  • Percent recovery of each analyte and % CV
  • LLOQ and ULOQ
  • Percentage of nonspecific binding
  • Standard curve data for each analyte with % CV for each concentration

MSD™ V-Plex plates offer exceptional reliability through rigorous validation. Each plate comes with a detailed Certificate of Analysis (CofA) that provides comprehensive information on analyte performance.

The validation of each V-Plex plate includes the production of at least three kit lots, performed with independent raw material batches when available. These are tested in multiple runs, on multiple days, and by multiple analysts. This thorough validation ensures that V-Plex plates deliver consistent and reliable results, essential for demanding research applications.
