Conclusions

The study confirmed the Anteo Mix&Go based hCG assay is significantly more sensitive than the covalently conjugated magnetic particle based test using the same critical reagents. The hCG assay conducted with the Anteo Mix&Go particles used half the amount of antibody to achieve five times more sensitivity than the covalently conjugated assay.

The variability of the Anteo Mix&Go based hCG assay was lower than the covalently conjugated hCG assay. There was also less nonspecific binding with the Mix&Go particles.

The Mix&Go procedure takes less time with fewer steps than the covalent conjugation procedure. The Anteo Mix&Go particles come pre-activated and are ready for the antibody conjugation. The covalent conjugation procedure requires steps to wash and activate the particles before the addition of the antibody.
