ACCEL ELISA® COVID-19 Total Antibody Kit

This test kit is a serology-based SARS-CoV-2 total antibody detection assay which utilizes Plexense’s proven and patented ACCEL ELISA® technology for sensitive, rapid and accurate results.

The ACCEL ELISA® COVID-19 assay uses the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N-protein) developed by the BioNano Health Guard Research Center (a division of the Ministry of Science and ICT, Korea) in collaboration with Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) for the sole use of COVID-19 antibody detection on ACCEL ELISA® platform.

The ACCEL ELISA® has greatly simplified the tedious process of conventional ELISA test method through its patented well-design technology. Now, laboratories and test centers worldwide have the option of selecting and deploying ELISA tests across all their facilities without the need for exotic equipment. Each ACCEL ELISA® COVID-19 kit can test up to 94 patient samples simultaneously in just under 30 minutes.  In terms of daily testing capacity, ramping up to 3,000 or even 10,000 tests per day is as simple as adding clinical staff and basic laboratory instruments.  It is that simple and quick, and all possible due to the new ACCEL ELISA® technology. 

In terms of accuracy, ACCEL ELISA® COVID-19 Kit has a 98.5% overall agreement to real time PCR testing method.  At the heart of Plexense’s ACCEL ELISA® technology is the precision-cut “starburst” design. This was designed with the intent to improve antibody capture from any angle within the well and optimize surface chemistry for higher sensitivity and better performance.  Based on recent clinical assessment of 341 patient samples shows that the ACCEL ELISA® COVID-19 Kit performed at a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 100% for patients with 5 or more days onset of infection.
