Homebrew is Quanterix's unique custom assay development solution that leverages the power of ultrasensitive Simoa technology to address specific research applications of interest. Utilizing a lab's own antibodies, custom assays can be developed in the most efficient manner possible. Homebrew kit components and instructions have been carefully optimized and validated to maximize ease-of-use and success developing assays capable of achieving a level of sensitivity well beyond conventional immunoassays.
High-performing assays designed to your specifications
Study your analyte of choice using your own antibodies and customized assay protocols. Homebrew kits are available on both our bead and planar platforms, allowing you to run assays on the HD-1, HD-X, SR-X or SP-X instruments you already own. Don't have an instrument? Our Accelerator Laboratory has you covered!
Homebrew assays rely on the ultrasensitive power of Simoa technology. In general, a 2-3 log improvement in sensitivity can be expected for bead-based custom assays compared to conventional ELISAs, and homebrew performance enhancements can be achieved within 2-3 days.
Interested in measuring more than one target simultaneously? Homebrew assays on our bead platform can be customized to detect up to 4 analytes in a single sample.
Quanterix has a strategic focus in:
We are working with a rapidly-growing network of academic researchers and pharmaceutical and biotech partners to drive advancements in a variety of research areas.
Quanterix's homebrew kits allows researchers to convert their existing ELISA to the ultrasensitive Simoa platform within days. Our kits are designed to to enable any laboratory to quickly develop custom assays of interest and complement the menu of singleplex and multiplex Simoa assays currently available for a range of research applications.
