The SUMA technology is a complete system of reagents and instrumentation to perform ultramicro-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (UMELISA) or ultramicrotest (UMTEST), which comprises fully computerized spectrofluorometers for automatic reading, validation, interpretation, and quantification of results, plate washers, manual and automatic punchers, and reagent kits designed to perform UMTESTs (10-30 μL volumes of samples and reagents)

Summary
From January 1959, health and human life became a constant concern of the Cuban reality.

This conception has significantly impacted on the progresses of medicine in Cuba.[1,2]. Among the efforts to advance this concept, the creation and opening of the Immunoassay Center (CIE) in 1987 are included, an organization in charge of developing and producing kits for diagnostic purposes where its leading products are the ultramicroanalytic system (SUMA) or SUMA technology,[3] part of BioCubaFarma business group, which gathers major.
