Aeirtec develops 'Universal Immunoassay Buffer'


MRC funding for MASTERPLANS consortium

July 2014

Aeirtec has developed a universal immunoassay buffer for use in capture and detection stages, improving sensitivity and minimising both nonspecific binding and heterophilic antibody activity.


Aeirtec and Manchester University present data  from marker multiplex profiling in SLE at the Amercian College of Rheumatology (ACR) meeting 11th -16th November in Washington DC. Title: High Sensitivity Multiplex ELISA Reveals Cytokine Expression Heterogeneity in Active SLE.

Aeirtec and Manchester University have received funding from BBSRC for studies toward innovation in immunoassay technology.


To support molecular pathology, the MRC and EPSRC have supported six nodes led by the universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leicester, Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham. Each node brings researchers, clinicians and industry together to develop molecular diagnostic tools, to enable disease stratification. Aeirtec is a member of the Manchester-led node and the focus of this node is on rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and lupus.


The  Manchester University led MASTERPLANS consortium, of which Aeirtec is a member, have been awarded a £4.2m fund by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) for stratification of patients with system lupus erythematosus (SLE) according to treatment response. Aeirtec will provide high sensitivity multiplex analysis of markers in patients' samples to identify marker patterns within the stratification.


Aeirtec have recieved funding from Tenovus Cancer Care within a collborative project to examine immune/inflammatory markers in cancer patients.
