THE Pu•MA
SYSTEM
Automated ELISAs on your benchtop
The Pu·MA System runs validated assays for immunology, oncology, cellular stress, inflammation, and metabolic disease research. It is designed for applications where samples are limited such as small animal studies. The Pu·MA System fits seamlessly into your current laboratory workflow. Your assay reagents are loaded into a Pu·MA System Flowchip, the system then automatically executes the assay protocol and your results are read by any standard plate reader.
Pu•MA System benefits
- Reduces sample and reagent volumes to 10–20 µl
- Shortens total assay time from 2 days to less than 3 hours
- Validated immunoassays for small animal research
- Open platform for single or multi-analyte assays
- Eliminates need for pre-configured plates
Complete assay workflow
The adaption of existing ELISA kits and/or antibody pairs is straightforward. Reagent dispensing is done with common pipettors and tips. Assay buffers that optimize fluid transfer are provided for any required dilutions. Blocking solutions, wash buffers, and substrates are also provided. The system is touchscreen-driven with a very intuitive interface. Protein Fluidics Support is always available to answer any questions.

How it works
The Pu•MA Flowchip and System uses valve-less fluidic switching (VLFS) to precisely control fluid movement in a flowchip. The assay takes place in a microfluidic “Assay Channel” that reduces both incubation times and reagent volumes. Preloaded protocols execute all fluid transfer and incubation steps.
