Valita Aggregation Pure Assay Workflow
Available as 96-well plates, validated with samples concentrated between 200 mg/L–2000 mg/L, and with a detection limit of 0.5% aggregation at 1000 mg/L—the Valita Aggregation Pure assay enables rapid, high-throughput IgG aggregation analysis.
It's among the fastest and simplest aggregation detection tools on the market, and is compatible with high-performance microplate readers with fluorescence polarization functionality.
By enabling you to assess antibody aggregation in just a matter of minutes, it significantly enhances your process development workflow, allowing you to evaluate aggregation with ease at any given stage.
Simply add your purified sample to the Valita Aggregation Pure assay plate, allow it to incubate at room temperature, and quantify IgG aggregation using a plate reader equipped with a fluorescence polarization module. Then, in as little as 15 minutes, you’ll have your results.

About the Valita Aggregation Pure Assay Principle
Thanks in part to the power of fluorescence polarization, the Valita Aggregation Pure assay is among the fastest, easiest and readily-automatable quantification assays available. Fluorescence polarization is a widely used technique for monitoring binding events in solution. The underlying principle uses polarized light to excite a fluorescent probe, which then emits the light again with a specific degree of polarization. The emitted light polarization is directly related to the rotational movement of the molecule. Since the level of polarization directly correlates with the amount of bound probe, it’s possible to quantify protein aggregation with the Valita Aggregation Pure assay simply by measuring light polarization.
Valita Aggregation Pure assay plates come pre-coated with a probe that can bind aggregates in solution. So, if you want to measure IgG aggregation effectively and rapidly in your lab, all you’d need is a fluorescence polarization-enabled microplate reader, and filters that are compatible with red fluorescent dyes such as rhodamine.
