VirClia® Automation VirClia has been specially designed to be used in the ThunderBolt® automatic system, which has customized software for Vircell’s exclusive monotest format.
VirClia® MONOTEST Indirect chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) to test antibodies against different microorganisms in human serum or plasma. Microwell-based assay: every test consists of 3 reaction wells + 5 reagent wells.
Fundamentals The CLIA method is based upon the reaction between the antibodies present in the tested samples and the antigen adsorbed on a polystyrene surface. Unbound immunoglobulins are washed off. An enzyme‐labelled anti‐human globulin binds the antigen-antibody complex in a second step. After a new washing step, bound conjugate is developed adding a chemiluminescent substrate solution that
generates a glow-type luminescence that can be read with a luminometer.
