MARIA™ Kits


Indoor Biotechnologies has developed a Multiplex Array for Indoor Allergens (MARIA™) that measures the eight most important indoor allergens at once in a single test (pdf). The array simultaneously measures Der p 1, Der f 1, Mite Group 2, Fel d 1, Can f 1, Rat n 1, Mus m 1 and Bla g 2. MARIA™ provides improved assay performance (increased sensitivity, accuracy and precision) in a high throughput system with substantial time and cost savings.


MARIA™ technology was developed in collaboration with Radix Biosolutions and Luminex Corporation, with support from a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). MARIA™ combines Indoor Biotechnologies proprietary allergen-specific monoclonal antibodies with the power of Luminex xMAP® technology and represents the state-of-the-art in allergen detection.

 

The performance and inter-laboratory reproducibility of MARIA™ has been validated in an international multi-center study involving nine laboratories in the U.S. and Europe. The study compared ~32,000 allergen test results and showed that MARIA is reproducible between laboratories.  Recent data from Indoor Biotechnologies, presented at EAACI 2010, indicates that MARIA produces reproducible results in an ISO 17025-compliant analytical laboratory (See Technical Information on MARIA™).

 

MARIA™ kits and services are available exclusively through Indoor Biotechnologies. For further information, contact Dr. Eva King.
