Ciraplex ULTRA and MSD V-plex cver several lgs f IL-6 values Erenna issues with duplicate CV failures, lw thrughput, and high kit csts makes it a less attractive Ciraplex ULTRA IL-6 US values Parallelism 40 and 60% higher than MSD V-plex when IL-6 > 100 pg/ml and < 10 pg/ml, respectively 25% higher than Erenna platfrm Parallelism acceptable t LLOQ fr NHS and inflammatry samples fr all platfrms Ciraplex ULTRA parallelism at 1:4 MRD is better than 1:2 Accuracy Spike Recvery Sensitivity Recvery better at lw cncentratins fr Ciraplex ULTRA while Erenna and MSD V-plex yields better recveries at higher cncentratins Ciraplex ULTRA IL-6 US has best sensitivity with pg/ml MSD LLOQ better than listed in kit insert;clse t ~ 0.1 pg/ml, but belw Ciraplex lw QC

13 2016 Bimarker Wrld Cngress 13 Ciraplex ULTRA IL-6 Perfrmance in Clinical Studies Ciraplex ULTRA IL-6 US perfrmance range reduces repeat rate fr clinical trial studies Clinical Studies Over 2500 samples Cllected ver a year span As many as 24 plates (~750 samples) analyzed per day IL-6 bserved values Range frm pg/ml Detects changes in patients ver 2-3 lgs > ULOQ (228 pg/ml); N = 1 < LLOQ (0.016 pg/ml); N = 2 > 10 pg/ml; N = 324 Mean IL-6 value = 4.832; Median IL-6 values = 2.848
