Luminex

Descriptions

Luminex technology is state-of-the-art biomarker discovery geared to detect a large number of biomarkers analytes within a small sample size. Analytes are biomarkers of different disease states, and this upgrade would allow users to run 96 and 384 well plates. The DRSE new system makes it possible to multiplex up to 500 analytes through the combination of differentially dyed fluorescent microsphere sets & an innovative instrument design with two detection channels. The RUO system is identical to the DRSE but has only one detection channel. Luminex technology allows the incubation of fluorescently marked beads conjugated to an antibody of choice with a sample using the same underlying principles as Enzyme Linked Immunoassay detection (ELISA). Luminex sample sizes are much reduced, when compared to ELISA, up to x 10 less, incubation times are also reduced and the beads bound to the target protein are detected and counted using the DRSE or RUO.
