New FAST Quant 40 HumanTM Kit lets you measure concentrations of 40 human cytokines at once!
       
Angiogenin IGF-I IL-12p40 PDGF-BB
Angiopoietin-2 IGF-II IL-12p70 RANTES
CRP IL-1alpha IL-13 TGF-alpha
Eotaxin IL-1beta IP-10 TGF-beta1
FAS ligand IL-2 KGF TGF-beta3
FGF-basic IL-4 MCP-1 TIMP-1
Fibronectin IL-5 MCP-3 TNF-alpha
GM-CSF IL-6 MIP-1alpha TNFR-I
ICAM-1 IL-8 MMP-7 TNFR-II
IFN-gamma IL-10 MMP-9 VEGF

 FAST Quant Kits combine carefully-tested, sensitive immunoassays with Whatman FASTTM Slides, the surface of choice for protein microarrays.   Previous kits allow measurement of concentrations of 8 - 10 human or mouse cytokines in one assay.  This new kit combines the 40 most-requested human cytokines in one kit, allowing you to collect data and analyze relationships that were impractical to explore before.


 

MicroSpot ELISA for High-Throughput Multiplex Cytokine Quantification 

FAST Quant represents a quantum leap forward in protein microarray technology. With FAST Quant, a researcher can accurately determine the concentration of forty human cytokines in 24 biological samples simultaneously, using familiar ELISA immunochemistry and fluorescent detection.

 
FAST Quant 40 Human Kit

 

Built on FAST technology, the high protein binding capacity surface chemistry, FAST Quant combines the power of array technology with the quantitative nature and high-throughput capabilities of traditional ELISA. FAST Quant exhibits sensitivity and reproducibility better than traditional ELISA.

A standard curve is generated by creating a dilutional series from recombinant antigen mass standards. Due to the solid-phase nature of a microspot assay, it is not necessary to take duplicate measurements of each sample. The MicroSpot is entirely concentration dependent, unlike an ELISA where the reaction is both concentration and volume dependent.


 

 

FAST Frame with 
FAST Slides and
Incubation Chambers

The 40 analytes are divided into 2 sub-arrays of individual cytokine-specific antibodies, spotted in triplicate.  Each slide contains 8 pads arrayed with Sub-array A and 8 pads with Sub-array B.  The kit of 4 slides, used with a FAST Frame holder (ordered separately) gives standard curves for each Sub-Array plus full cytokine concentration measurement on 24 samples.  The FAST Frame provides an 8x12 cm footprint for use of standard multiwell pipettors and liquid handling devices.
 Data analysis uses MicroVigene™ for FAST Quant data reduction software, the cutting edge utility for protein array image analysis.  Adaptation to the 2-sub-array format of the new kit is underway.  Until a customized version becomes available customers will send scanned .tif files to Whatman by FTP for data analysis.
 FAST Quant 40 Human is another clear example of Whatman commitment to providing the scientific community with the best solution for multiplex cytokine measurements.
