Gyrolab® xPand immunoassay system
Gyrolab xPand is a high-throughput, compact disk (CD) based microfluidic immunoassay platform for unattended parallel processing of up to 5 CDs, generating 560 data points in 5 hours.
Limited mouse serum/plasma volume (<10 µL) restricts the number of PK/ADA assays that can be performed using traditional
Mouse pharmacokinetics study bioanalysis of NBE drug
Mouse pharmacokinetics/immunogenicity (PK/ADA) data packages are essential milestones for advancing a New Biologic Entity (NBE) from research into development. A major bottleneck in mouse PK/ADA bioanalysis is the limited serum or plasma sample volume available—typically less than 10 µL for a full time course of ~10 timepoints. Traditional platforms such as ELISA and MSD generally require this entire volume for only one or two assays, which becomes increasingly restrictive as drug formats grow more complex (e.g., bispecifics, trispecifics) and require multiple analytical readouts. The Gyrolab Xpand system addresses this limitation by enabling several assays to be performed from a single 10 µL sample, generating richer datasets to support project decision making. Its fully automated workflow also improves operational efficiency by reducing hands on time compared with ELISA and MSD, which require manual wash and incubation steps. The primary drawback of the Gyrolab platform is its higher cost, including equipment, consumables, and annual maintenance, relative to conventional bioanalytical methods.

Great replacement for ELISA.
Antibody binding to analyte
The Gyrolabs instrument basically runs the whole ELISA for you. All you need to do is prepare the samples and antibodies just like you do for normal ELISA. The instrument takes care of adding each component and washing in between steps. You walk away after loading samples and CD. After about 1 hour, the data is ready for analysis.

High-throughput, automated analysis of viral vector titer and process related impurities
Download this application note to see a study that explores a solution to these challenges, by investigating the utility and performance of analyzing viral vector titer and impurities in a continuous 5-CD run (“Gyroplex® panel”) using the Gyrolab® xPand platform and a combination of Gyrolab kits and assay protocols. Two AAV serotypes (AAV2 and AAV9) plus 3 impurities (host-cell proteins [HCPs], endonuclease, and transferrin) were analyzed for each serotype on one instrument.
