How does BioPlex work?

How does BioPlex work?

The technology makes use of multiple assays whereby one antibody to a specific analyte is attached to a set of beads with the same colour and the second antibody is used to quantify the bound antigen. The use of different coloured beads enables the simultaneous detection of many other analytes in the same sample.

What is a BioPlex?

BioPlex (biophysical interactions of ORFeome-based complexes) is an open access resource for studying protein-protein interactions. It is the result of collaborations between Harvard Medical School and Biogen. BioPlex 1.0 reported 23,744 interactions among 7,668 proteins.

What is xMAP technology?

xMAP® – The World’s Most Used Multiplexing Technology xMAP® Technology allows users to perform a wide range of protein- and nucleic acid-based multiplex assays, which can simultaneously detect up to 500 targets in a single run.

What is Luminex used for?

Luminex Platform Luminex multiplex assays use xMAP bead-based technology to simultaneously detect and quantitate multiple secreted proteins including cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. This multiplex technology can also be used to measure gene expression utilizing the Invitrogen QuantiGene Plex assays.

What is a Bioplex assay?

Bio-Plex Multiplex Immunoassays allow you to simultaneously quantify up to 500 proteins, peptides, and nucleic acid targets in a single 12.5 µl sample. Assays for over 450 biologically relevant targets are available as ready-to-use premixed multiplex panels and singleplex sets or in custom-mixed panels.

What are Bioplex minerals?

Bioplex minerals are trace minerals that are bound to amino acids and a range of peptides. They are easily absorbed and readily metabolized, optimizing animal performance.

What is Luminex xMAP?

Luminex xMap technology is a bead-based multiplexed immunoassay system in a microplate format. The system can simultaneously detect many targets in a single sample — up to 500, depending on system design. The microspheres used in the Luminex system have different spectral addresses (color codes).

What is Magpix?

MAGPIX® is the simplest and most affordable of Luminex’s xMAP® instruments. This compact multiplexing unit performs up to 50 different tests in a single reaction volume and reads a 96-well plate in just 60 minutes. MAGPIX® features self-cleaning routines and magnetic bead compatibility (with Ma.

How do Luminex beads work?

Using a Luminex instrument, beads are excited by one laser to determine the bead region and corresponding assigned analyte. Another laser determines the magnitude of the PE-derived signal, which is proportional to the amount of analyte bound. Multiple readings are taken at each bead region, ensuring robust detection.

What is multiplex ELISA?

A multiplex assay is a derivative of an ELISA using beads for binding the capture antibody. Multiplex assays are still more common in research than in clinical settings. In a multiplex assay, microspheres of designated colors are coated with antibodies of defined binding specificities.
