Immunoassay Development Services

Customized, ultra-sensitive immunoassays for the detection of your specific targets — compatible with ELISA and the AVAC technology.

Customized Sandwich-Based Immunoassay Design

  • We specialize in designing sandwich-based immunoassays tailored to detect your specific targets of interest, ensuring precise and reliable results.
  • Our assays are compatible with both conventional ELISA platforms and AVAC — our cutting-edge proprietary technology — giving you flexible detection options.

Mecwins designs immunoassay technologies based on customer molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, antibodies, and small molecules. We develop and optimize diverse surface chemistries compatible with biomolecules to enhance assay performance.

Customized Sandwich-Based Immunoassay Design

Protein Immobilization Services

  • We attach antibodies to surfaces achieving highly dense and oriented immobilization, maximizing the effectiveness of your assay.
  • We also attach unique tags to antibodies, reducing non-specific binding and improving the accuracy of your results.
  • Immobilization can be applied across a wide range of materials, providing versatility and customization based on your project requirements.

Mecwins has considerable expertise in the immobilization of antibodies of any format — full-length antibodies, Fabs, and nanobodies — onto an array of surfaces per customer specifications. We also attach unique tags and develop compatible surface chemistries that facilitate high orientation of the molecules and enhance sensitivity.

Antibody Affinity and Avidity Testing

  • We assess the strength of interactions between antibodies and their specific target epitope to help you select the best antibodies for your assays, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity.

We have conducted KD (equilibrium dissociation constant) measurements for over 15 monoclonal antibodies from one of our key customers. Lower KD values indicate higher antibody affinity; to achieve ultrasensitivity, high-affinity antibodies with KD values in the picomole to femtomole range are recommended.

Antibody Affinity and Avidity Testing

Antibody Pair Screening

  • We identify the most effective antibody pairs for capturing and detecting your target antigens, ensuring optimal immunoassay performance.
  • Our screening evaluates key parameters such as specificity, sensitivity, and background noise for accurate, dependable results.

We test all antibodies as both capture and detection antibodies in every possible combination to identify the most suitable sandwich pairs. To maximize your molecules and improve sensitivity (up to an order of magnitude in LLoD), we can also develop kits using your antibodies together with our ultra-sensitive AVAC proprietary technology.

Antibody Pair Screening

Reagent Selection and Validation

  • Our experts help select or design the reagents (diluents, buffers) most appropriate for your specific immunoassay, ensuring robust performance.
  • We provide feasibility assessments for proprietary or commercially sourced reagents, giving you confidence in the best candidates to move forward.

Mecwins assists clients in identifying the optimal assay diluent formulation, optimizing components to minimize matrix interferences and achieve an acceptable percentage of recovery in real samples.

Reagent Selection and Validation

Product Testing Services

  • We conduct comprehensive feasibility studies on your products using a variety of human biofluids, helping you validate performance and reliability in real-world conditions.

Mecwins has extensive experience in selecting the most appropriate matrices for each assay and analyzing the most common interferences of each matrix, helping you optimize the diluent assay to get the best performance for each matrix.
