Multi-Plex Immunoassay (MPI)

  • For detecting 6 mediator: Research institute inside AS is 25,000 NTD/plate. Research institute outside AS is 28,000 NTD/plate. Company is 50,000 NTD/plate.
  • For detecting more mediators (N≧6): Research institute inside AS is 25,000 × N/6 NTD/plate. Research institute outside AS is 28,000 × N/6 NTD/plate. Company is 50,000 × N/6 NTD/plate.
  • For serum and plasma samples, we request 300 µL of human sample and 150 µL of mouse sample.
  • For tissue lysate samples, we request 150 µL of 0.8 mg/ml sample.
  • For culture medium samples, we request 150 µL sample and please prepare extra 15 mL culture medium for us as standard curve buffer.
  • If the mediator number is over 24, please contact the ICF to provide more sample volume.
Please fill the mediators you want to detect in the application form. We will make a quotation to user after finding suitable antibodies. When user confirm there is not problem with the price, you can pay the fee. we will notify user to send the sample after receiving the payment.
  • For research institute inside AS: Please put your samples on the ice to ensure that the samples would not thaw, and send them to the N431 Institute of Biomedical Sciences.
  • For research institute outside AS and company: Please put your samples in Styrofoam box with dry ice, frozen and send to Inflammation Core Facility, N431, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica, No. 128, Section 2, Yuanyuan Road, Nangang District, Taipei City 11529.
From we receive the samples, the results are expected to be sent within about 17 working days (must be the mediators on the application form).

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

A tissue sample is only stained with one antibody.
Please fill the item you want to stain in the application form. We recommend that users provide relevant antibodies by yourself. If there is no relevant antibodies, we can assist in finding whether there is a suitable antibody.
Yes. We recommend that users provide relevant antibodies by yourself. If there is no relevant antibodies, we can assist in finding whether there is a suitable antibody.
The test samples also need to be charged. It is recommended that users apply for 4 samples for the antibody concentration test.
