PICOBOO (The Platform Trial In COVID-19 Priming and BOOsting) Study and NOVAVAX COVID-19/Influenza Combined Vaccine Study

Research

Small volume assays are required for large-scale research studies and in particular paediatric trials, where multiple measures are required from a single sample. Fluorescent bead-based technology (Bioplex/Luminex) allows high through-put and simultaneous quantification of multiple analytes in a single test. This technology uses sets of microspheres, each with a unique spectral address that can be coated with a different antigen of interest.
