MGISTP-B1000

February 20, 2026/in Automated Systems, MGI, Partners, Sample Transfer/by Harshita Sharma

MGI STP-B1000

The STP-B1000 is designed for laboratories that require accurate, repeatable separation and transfer of blood components without compromising traceability or efficiency. It precisely recognizes plasma, buffy coat, and red blood cells within centrifuged blood collection tubes and transfers each component with high positional accuracy, reducing manual handling and the risk of cross-contamination. Integrated barcode tracking ensures every transfer remains fully traceable, preventing sample mismatches and data integrity issues in high-throughput workflows.

Operation is intentionally streamlined… users define only the component type, transfer volume, and number of transfers before initiating the process with a single click. This simplicity minimizes training requirements while delivering consistent, standardized blood processing suitable for clinical, biobanking, and research applications.

Accurately Identify Blood Components & efficiently recover the buffy coat

As the official distributor of MGI in Australia and New Zealand, Decode Science is providing local access to STP-B1000 solutions with region-based technical and application support. Simply talk to me and we can discuss your research needs.

Simoa Dry Blood Extraction Kit

January 8, 2026/in Partners, Quanterix/by Harshita Sharma

Huber, H., Montoliu-Gaya, L., Brum, W.S. et al. A minimally invasive dried blood spot biomarker test for the detection of Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Nat Med (2026). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-04080-0

Simoa Dry Blood Extraction Kit

The Simoa Dry Blood Extraction Kit is a validated, device-agnostic solution for extracting analytes from dried plasma and dried blood spot (DPS/DBS) samples for use with Simoa® assays. It enables consistent, reproducible recovery of low-abundance biomarkers while maintaining the femtogram-level sensitivity required for clinical and translational research.

Designed to support decentralized and remote sample collection, the kit simplifies pre-analytical workflows without compromising data quality. It is well suited for longitudinal studies, multi-site trials, and settings where traditional venous sampling and cold-chain logistics are impractical.

Key Features of the Simoa Dry Blood Extraction Kit

Clinical Evidence: DROP-AD Study (Nature Medicine)

Hanna Huber
Nutrition Scientist // Ph.D // Postdoctoral researcher @DZNE Bonn & University of Gothenburg

The Simoa Dry Blood Extraction Kit workflow is supported by evidence from the DROP-AD study, published in Nature Medicine, demonstrating that capillary dried blood samples can be used to reliably quantify key Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers.

The multi-centre European study showed strong concordance between capillary dried blood and conventional venous plasma measurements for:

p-Tau217 – strong correlation across multiple sites
GFAP and NfL – reliable quantification with high plasma concordance

The approach demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy for identifying CSF-confirmed Alzheimer’s pathology and high reproducibility with self-collected samples, supporting decentralized and remote study designs.

Importantly, the study confirms the feasibility of this approach in high-risk and underrepresented populations, including individuals with Down syndrome, and eliminates the need for venipuncture, centrifugation, and cold-chain logistics.

This workflow is intended for research use only and is not designed for clinical diagnosis or clinical decision-making.

Designed for Real-World Clinical and Research Workflows

The Simoa Dry Blood Extraction Kit is designed to support high-sensitivity biomarker analysis in settings where traditional venous sampling and cold-chain logistics are limiting.

For academic and translational neuroscience teams conducting large cohort or longitudinal studies, the kit provides a standardized method for extracting biomarkers from small-volume, remotely collected samples, reducing pre-analytical variability and improving inter-site comparability.

In pharmaceutical and biotechnology research, the workflow supports early-phase and decentralized study designs where sample volume is limited but analytical sensitivity is critical.

For public health and global research settings, the kit enables reliable laboratory-grade biomarker analysis from capillary dried blood samples, supporting studies in low-resource or geographically distributed populations.

Applications and Intended Use

The Simoa Dry Blood Extraction Kit is intended for the extraction of analytes from capillary-derived dried blood and plasma collection devices to support detection of low-abundance biomarkers using Simoa® assay kits.

For research use only.

Kit Contents

Each kit includes Quanterix extraction buffer and two precipitation plates.

As the official distributor of Quanterix in Australia and New Zealand, Decode Science is providing local access to Simoa® platforms, assays, and workflow solutions with region-based technical and application support.

Proteomics in Transition: From Discovery to Diagnostic Relevance Whitepaper

November 24, 2025/in News, Quanterix/by Harshita Sharma

Proteomics in Transition: From Discovery to Diagnostic Relevance Whitepaper

For years, discovery proteomics uncovered hundreds of candidate biomarkers — but most stalled before reaching the clinic. New digital platforms change that: they deliver femtogram-level sensitivity, reproducible quantification across sites, and the analytical rigor required for regulatory and clinical use.

Why this matters
Proteins reflect real-time biology. That means faster detection, better trial enrollment, and clearer measures of therapeutic effect. Whether you’re developing a diagnostic, designing an adaptive trial, or building a multi-omics model, the right proteomic data reduces guesswork and accelerates decisions.

BCR Sequencing of 1 Million Healthy and Diseased Samples in a Single Experiment

Unlock with quick sign up!

Key Takeaways

Profiled 1 million human B cells in a single experiment
Detected 900,000+ unique paired clonotypes across Type 1 Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s, Celiac, and healthy donors
Achieved sensitive detection of CDR3 regions, clonotypes, and full-length sequences at scale

Evercode BCR uncovered over 900,000 unique paired clonotypes across 24 samples in a single experiment. Negatively selected B cells from 12 healthy donors were purchased, while pan B cells were isolated from 12 autoimmune-diseased human PBMCs and fixed using the Evercode Cell Fixation Kit v3 to preserve cell structure and protect RNA integrity. Fixed samples were stored at -80°C until all were ready for combined processing with the Evercode BCR Mega Kit. Whole transcriptome and BCR-specific libraries were sequenced on the Illumina Novaseq X, and data were analyzed using Parse Biosciences’ Analysis Pipeline v1.3.0. Clustering with Seurat 5.0 showed that the majority of cells corresponded to major B cell subtypes, as illustrated in the UMAP below (Figure 1).

The assay demonstrated high sensitivity, detecting paired heavy and light chains in up to 89% of cells (Figure 2).
