A fully automated ELISA system was constructed using a pipette tip as a solid phase, urease as a detecting enzyme, and a pH-FET as a detector of urease activity. The inner wall of the end part of a pipette tip was used as a solid phase, and the urease activity of the conjugate, captured after a two-step immunoreaction, was measured by coupling the pipette tip with the pH-FET in a pH-measuring cell. Full automation of the ELISA system was achieved by using a disposable reagent cartridge and three pipetters for all mechanical operations, including sample dilution and B/F separation. This system can treat 60 samples per hour with an assay time of 21 min for all assay configurations. The system was applied to two-step sandwich assays for AFP, CEA, HBsAg, and HBsAb, a two-step competition assay for HBcAb, and a second antibody assay for HTLV-I Ab.

An ELISA system was developed using a pH sensitive ISFET (pH-FET) as a detector, a pipette tip as a solid phase, and urease as a detecting enzyme. Double stranded PCR products with digoxigenin and biotin at both terminals were obtained by using digoxigenin- and biotin-labeled primers. 1 microliters of the PCR solution was directly introduced into the end part of a pipette tip coated with anti-digoxigenin antibody. Biotin-labeled PCR products captured at the solid phase were detected with avidin-urease, of which the activity was measured by a pH-FET in a pH-measuring cell containing urea solution. The assay was used to detect HTLV-I provirus gene integrated in the genome of a human MT-1 cell, and it was found that 100 pg of the genomic DNA of MT-1 cell was specifically detectable after 35 cycles of PCR. Also the detection limit of the present ELISA system itself was determined by using known amounts of purified PCR product labeled with digoxigenin and biotin, and it was found that 10 amol of the labeled DNA in 1 microliter of sample was detectable.
