ELISA Analysis
ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a laboratory method for measuring antibody activity. Applications in immunology range from diagnostic tests for HIV, infectious diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis in humans, to tests for viral infections in cats, cows, and honey bees.
Customized Applications has developed programs to collect raw data from ELISA readers, calculate results, and prepare patient reports.
Customized Applications' first ELISA reader program was released in 1991. That program was called TERIS, the TheraTest ELISA Reader Information System. Of course, ELISA analysis has changed since 1991, and so have our programs. The following two programs were designed with the needs of the laboratory technician in mind.
ELISA Calc
ELISA Calc is a fully featured program that collects data from ELISA readers, calculates results for a variety of different test kits, and generates reports. A Module is available which transmits data to a laboratory information system. Primary features include:
User defined plate layouts and calculations..
A sample and a client database.
A variety of formatted reports and graphs
Detailed flagging for validation and reporting.
User defined variables for calculations, flags and reports.
Transmit data to a Laboratory Information System.
Communicate with pipetting robots and fluid handling systems
Licenses for ELISA Calc are priced as follows:
$1,500 for single copies
$ 750/copy for 5 to 9 copies
$ 500/copy in sets of 10 or more copies
Modules which transmit data to a laboratory information system or communicate with a pipetting system require additional setup fees.
TERIS - TheraTest ELISA Reader Information System
TERIS, the TheraTest ELISA Reader Information System, is available free of charge to users of TheraTest Laboratories ELISA test kits. It, too, is a fully featured program which collects data from ELISA readers, calculates results, and genertates reports. Modules which enable a laboratory to define their own unique plate layouts and calculations, and which transmit data to a Laboratory Information System are available for an additional fee.
TERIS Tutorial
You may download a free tutorial which covers the typical operation of TERIS in a clinical laboratory. The tutorial contains many examples of TERIS menus, data entry forms and reports. TERIS does not have to be installed on your computer to run the tutorial.
The tutorial includes a PowerPoint viewer, uses Microsoft Agent talking, animated characters, and was developed using Vox Proxy from Right Seat Software.
