  1. Plasma p-tau181 and amyloid markers in Alzheimer's disease: A comparison between Lumipulse and SIMOA

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2024-08-22 Biomarkers

    One-hundred-thirthy-three participants, namely 55 A+T+N+ AD, 28 Neurodegenerative disorders (NDD) and 50 controls were enrolled for the study.

  2. Assessment of the Correlation and Diagnostic Accuracy between Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers: A Comparison of the Lumipulse and Simoa Platforms

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. International journal of molecular sciences 2024-04-23 Biomarkers

    We compared the clinical and analytical performance of Alzheimer's disease (AD) plasma biomarkers measured using the single-molecule array (Simoa) and Lumipulse platforms.

  3. CSF and plasma Aβ42/40 across Alzheimer's disease continuum: comparison of two ultrasensitive Simoa® assays targeting distinct amyloid regions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine 2023-09-04 Biomarkers

    Differences observed in technical and diagnostic performance of the two assays may depend on matrix-specific amyloid processing, suggesting that further studies should be carried to standardize amyloid ratio measurement in plasma.

  4. An Update on Blood-Based Markers of Alzheimer's Disease Using the SiMoA Platform

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Neurology and therapy 2019-12-12 Biomarkers

    The development of blood-based biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology as tools for screening the general population, and as the first step in a multistep process to determine which non-demented individuals are at greatest risk of developing AD dementia, is essential.
