SARS-CoV-2 Multiplex IgG+IgA+IgM kit
Multiantigen IgG+IgA+IgM is a multiplex, microsphere-based, highly sensitive and specific assay that measure the presence or absence of antibodies against four different SARS-CoV-2 antigens simultaneously.
RBD
Detecting SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies.
Spike
Identifying immune response after vaccination.
Nucleocapsid
Identifying immune response to natural infection.
Mpro
Identifying immune response to viral replication.
Three reporter channels simultaneously

Differentiating immune response by virus and vaccination
This serological bead-based assay has demonstrated to provide a wider range of information about the immune system response to SARS-CoV-2 than any other assay in the market, and it is performed in just 2 hours.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the inmune response
Different serology tests detect antibodies to different parts of the virus. After vaccination, the antibodies will only be formed to one part of the virus (the Spike protein). To detect if vaccination stimulated an antibody response, a test specifically designed for the antibodies of interest is needed.
This test presents a great opportunity because it gives so much information about the immune response based on the detection of 3 types of immunoglobulins and 4 specific SARS-CoV-2 antigens simultaneously, allowing us to differentiate the immune response for clinical infection and vaccination.

The SARS-CoV-2 Multiplex assay has been calibrated against the WHO First International Standard for Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin (Human), NIBSC Code 20/136.
In this sense, it is possible to quantitatively report the concentration of IgG immunoglobulins in International Units (IU / ml) against RBD or in United Antibody Units (BAU / ml) against S, N and Mpro. For this reason, the kit includes a calibrator or standard of known concentration with which to make a calibration line through serial dilutions to each of the viral antigens used in the test (RBD, S, N, Mpro) in which to interpolate the fluorescence values resulting from the assay of the samples, thus obtaining the concentration in IU / ml or BAU / ml corresponding to each sample.
