TAT® - Telomere Analysis Technology
Leaders in Telomere Research
Our technology overcomes the problem of traditional telomeric length technologies, which only offer one variable.
These data are not representative since telomere length has to be studied as a diverse population and taking into consideration multiple variables.
Using our TAT® technology(based on an updated HT-Q-FISH protocol) we can offer more than 250 variablesper telomeric length sample:
STANDARD ANALYSIS
The standard analysisprovides 4 variables
- Average telomeric length
- Average telomeric length
- 20th percentile of telomere length
- % of short telomeres (> 3kbp)
EXTENSIVE ANALYSIS (TAVS)
The Extended analysis measures more than 250 telomeric variables per sample, dramatically increasing the probability of identifying differences and drawing valuable conclusions.
90% of our customers choose this analysis.
Telomeric Length Percentiles:
Know all the telomeric lengths of the sample.
ShortTel:
Quantify how many telomeres there are for each telomere length
ShortCell:
Categorize the cell population based on telomeric length.
ROBUST PROTOCOL

- 5 replicates per sample
- Can be performed on any cell type or tissue
- Simultaneous processing of hundreds of samples (384 plates)
- Intra-assay coefficient of variation <5%
- Seven control cell lines
- Thousands of individual telomeres measured per sample

EliSpot®
Detection of secreted analytes at the single cell level.
Detection of secreted analytes at the single cell level. Mostly used for evaluating antigen-specific cytokine responses.
Multiple detection
Ideal for compound screening
High sensitivity
Detect more than one cytokine secreted by a specific cell
Enabling the study of populations with limited number of cells in blood (like T and B cell populations)
Representative applications

- Transplant rejection response
- Vaccine development
- Allergic response
- Viral infection monitoring and treatment
- Th1/Th2, T cell regulation
- Monocyte and dendritic cellanalysis
- Cancer
AlphaLISA®
Upgraded immuno-assay that detects and quantifies biomolecules and molecular complexes.

- No wash-steps offering higher sensitivity
- Wide detection range: from small molecules to large protein complexes (up to 4-5 logs)
- Reduction of sample size needed (5uL max.) reducing the cost per unit
- Broad sample compatibility (available for plasma) High throughput.
Representative markers quantified
- Cytokines
- T-cell receptor cell signaling assays
- Biomarkers for diseases such as: Fibrosis, Alzheimers, Parkinson, Diabetes
- Immune checkpoint proteins and binding assays
- Growth factors
- Ligand-receptor assays
- Molecule interactions (DNA: protein, RNA:protein, protein: protein, lipid: protein)
- SNP detection

Telomerase activity assay
Telomerase is the enzyme responsible for elongating telomeresand can be used as an independent biomarker or in combination with other Telomere variables.
Measure the activation or inhibition of the telomerase enzyme through our robust Q-TRAP protocol
- Clinically Validated (CLIA and ISO 15189)
- Each sample is run in triplicate
- Ideal for detection of telomerase inhibition and/or activation
- Full study report with statistical analysis included
