Abstract:
1. A method for carrying out an electrode induced luminescence assay comprising: (a) inserting one or more assay modules into a plate frame of a multi-well plate, said plate frame defining two or more apertures for receiving and holding one or more assay modules, each assay module having (i) an array of wells with integrated electrodes, (ii) a module lip, (iii) a snap fit element extending from said module, said snap fit element positioned below said lip, wherein said lip and said snap fit element are configured to engage said plate frame, (iv) a module top having a plurality of through-holes that define the walls of said array of wells, and (v) a module bottom defining the bottom of said array of wells, and said plate frame having a frame lip that extends into said apertures, thereby engaging said module lip and said snap fit element within said plate frame (b) introducing one or more samples into one or more wells of said multi-well plate; and (c) applying an electrical potential to said electrodes and measuring luminescence produced in said wells.
