Overview
Luminex Multiplex Systems are advanced analytical platforms leveraging xMAP bead-based technology to enable simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple analytes from a single sample. By integrating flow cytometry principles with microsphere-based assays and fluorescence detection, these systems support high-throughput, high-sensitivity biomarker analysis while significantly reducing sample volume, assay time, and operational costs compared to conventional singleplex methods.
Features
• High multiplexing capability for simultaneous detection of multiple analytes
• Scalable throughput suitable for routine to high-throughput laboratories
• Reduced sample volume and reagent consumption
• High sensitivity and reproducibility across assays
• Flexible assay formats supporting proteins, nucleic acids, and serological studies
• Compatibility with a wide range of validated multiplex assay kits
Applications
• Cytokine and chemokine profiling
• Biomarker discovery and validation
• Multiplex immunoassays as an alternative to ELISA
