Luminex Instruments
Luminex instruments offer proven precision and reliability, making them among the most widely used multiplexing platforms in the market. Using a mixture of color-coded beads pre-coated with capture antibodies, powerful xMAP technology offers the ability to bind up to 500 different analyte targets in solution. Upon completion of an R&D Systems Luminex Assay, beads are analyzed with a CMOS camera-based or dedicated dual-laser flow-based detection instrument. From the Luminex® MAGPIX® to the advanced xMAP INTELLIFLEX®, choose the Luminex instrument that best meets your unique application requirements.
R&D Systems Luminex Assays are compatible with all Luminex Instruments. These systems can be obtained from R&D Systems.
