Alamar NULISA™ panels – Exceptional multiplexing without compromising sensitivity

Panels available for inflammation and CNS biomarkers

IQVIA Laboratories Protein Biomarkers—previously known as Rules-Based Medicine (RBM)—is proud to be an Alamar Certified Service Provider, delivering reliable, scalable testing using Alamar’s NULISAseq platform and ARGO system. NULISA testing provides a breakthrough in ultra-sensitive biomarker detection for inflammation and central nervous system (CNS) research. NULISA delivers exceptional multiplexing without compromising sensitivity, making it an ideal platform for low abundance biomarkers.

NULISA™ Assay Capabilities

Alamar’s nucleic acid-linked immuno-sandwich assay – NULISA – technology provides exceptional performance characteristics*:

  • Ultra-high sensitivity to detect low-abundance proteins – attomolar levels ( fg / mL) – which can be critical mechanism-of-action studies
  • Scalable multiplexing analyzes hundreds of biomarkers from a single 25 µL sample input without loss of sensitivity, enabling comprehensive biomarker profiling
  • Coefficient of variation (CV) <10%, demonstrating exceptional reproducibility across runs and plates
  • ~12 logs dynamic range – appropriate for measuring both low-abundance biomarkers and high-abundance biomarkers in the same panel
  • Reliable, reproducible results for clinical and translational research.
