Mercodia MBeads Assays

High-performance magnetic bead-based tools for sensitive biomarker detection.

Technology Overview

Magnetic Beads Assay: Efficient detection from limited sample volumes

Magnetic bead separation is a powerful tool for isolating and quantifying target molecules in low-volume samples. Mercodia’s magnetic beads (MBeads) platform is built on surface-activated magnetic agarose beads, which offer an increased capture surface and enable high-efficiency biomarker detection. By coupling these beads with high-quality, validated antibodies, the platform delivers reliable performance across a broad detection range. The format supports high-throughput workflows and is compatible with both manual and semi-automated protocols, making it ideal for a variety of complex sample types such as conditioned media, cell lysates, and perifusion systems.

Application Focus

Precise insulin quantification with Mercodia Insulin MBeads

Mercodia Insulin MBeads assays offer a sensitive, high-throughput solution for insulin measurement in low-volume in vitro samples. With a broad dynamic range, the assays enable accurate detection of high insulin concentrations without the need for dilutions. Based on magnetic bead separation technology, our assays are optimized for insulin detection in conditioned media, cell lysates, and perifusion samples.

Key Advantages

Broad detection range

Our MBeads assays use magnetic bead separation technology, featuring surface-activated agarose beads coupled to high-quality antibodies. This design provides an extended detection range, allowing accurate measurement of high insulin concentrations while reducing the need for time-consuming sample dilutions.

Optimized for perifusion systems

Perifusion systems are widely used to study β-cell kinetics in vitro and are essential for elucidating islet physiology and pathophysiology. Islet perifusion involves exposing islets to a continuous flow of media enriched with nutrients, gases, or reagents that mimic physiological or controlled experimental conditions. Mercodia’s MBeads assays are optimized for detecting insulin in conditioned media, cell lysates, and perifusion samples.
