Next-Generation Bioconjugation Chemistry Delivers Better Sensitivity at Lower Cost

Chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIAs) are among the most sensitive and widely deployed diagnostic platforms globally. The bioconjugation chemistry used to prepare magnetic particle reagents used in these assays has a direct impact on performance, cost, and development speed. 


Tosyl-activated magnetic particles remain a standard approach, but their covalent, randomly oriented conjugation process demands high antibody loads, lengthy incubation times, and controlled temperature environments. 


This comparative study presents head-to-head performance data from CLIA experiments using Tosyl-activated particles versus a next-generation noncovalent surface activation approach, across four clinically relevant antibodies.

  • How the noncovalent approach achieved equivalent or superior CLIA signal-to-blank performance using up to six times less antibody than Tosyl-activated particles 
  • Why switching to room-temperature activation and a 2–3 hour total processing time change assays development economics 
  • What the data show across four antibody targets, including dynamic range evaluations and direct side-by-side plate comparisons
