The experimental setting and control of the automatic glass capillary immunoassay platform. (a) The glass capillaries are held on the vertically movable Z stage and connected to a multi-channel syringe pump. Add the reagents and samples in the prearranged microcentrifuge tubes, which are carried by the motorized XY stage. The above setting is used to perform the immunoassay protocol outlined in (b) in the following order: sample loading, incubation, washing, detection antibody loading, incubation, washing, chemiluminescence substrate loading, and incubation.
