Performance Validation

R&D Systems Luminex High Performance Assays undergo our most extensive validation testing. All Luminex High Performance Assay Panels are validated for use with serum and plasma samples. Some High Performance Assays are additionally validated for cell culture supernatants, milk, saliva, or urine, as indicated on the individual product data sheets. Luminex High Performance Assays are tested for sensitivity (three-quarters the low standard), intra-assay precision, inter-assay precision, and to ensure assay linearity for validated sample types. Recovery values for individual samples in validated sample types are also tested. Validation data for each analyte can be found in the product datasheet.

Background: Luminex Mouse Cytokine Panel

Mouse models have been used widely in biomedical research in preclinical and translation medicine research and across multiple research areas such as immunology, cancer, infectious diseases, and immune profiling. Due to their share of a significant amount of genetic and biological similarities with humans, mouse models have been ideal for studying human diseases and their potential treatments. The Mouse XL Cytokine Luminex Panel allows up to 45 mouse biomarkers to be detected in a single sample including CXCL1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-10, IFN-gamma, and MCP-1. The measurement and analysis of cytokines in biological fluids has become increasingly important due to their integral role in regulating growth, cellular proliferation, and host response to infection, injury, and inflammation, as well as their influence on reproduction and bone remodeling. While traditional techniques for quantifying cytokines, such as bioassay, ELISA, intracellular staining, RPA, and PCR, have limitations and cannot measure multiple cytokines simultaneously in the Luminex Mouse Cytokine Panel offers an efficient and cost-effective solution. The Luminex Mouse Cytokine Assay offers various options for cytokine analysis, including premix, user mix, and fixed panel. This feature makes it an invaluable tool for uncovering insights that would not be possible through the analysis of a single protein. The Luminex Mouse Panel is ideal for both basic research and clinical diagnostics, providing researchers and clinicians with a better understanding of the intricate interplay between cytokines in biological systems.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision - is generated from the mean of the %CV's from 40 reportable results across two different concentrations of analytes in a single serum assay

Inter-Assay Precision - is generated from the mean of the %CV's across two different concentrations of analytes across 40 different serum assays.

Discovery Assays deliver maximum flexibility, enabling the creation of fully customized panels tailored to your research needs. With universal reagents validated for compatibility across all analytes in the menu, they support endless customization possibilities.

Additional Information About Luminex Assays

All R&D Systems Luminex Assays are designed for use with any Luminex instrument including MAGPIX, Luminex 200, FLEXMAP 3D, and the INTELLIFLEX.

Luminex assays use color-coded, magnetic microparticles coated with analyte-specific antibodies to enable multiplex quantitation. During the assay, standards and samples are added to the wells, where target analytes bind to the capture antibodies. A biotinylated detection antibody cocktail is then introduced, followed by a Streptavidin-PE conjugate that generates a fluorescent signal proportional to the amount of analyte present.

Each microparticle is identified by a unique signature and the signal intensity is measured using a Luminex instrument. These assays are designed to deliver reliable and reproducible results with validated antibody pairs and optimized protocols. They are well suited for applications that require sensitivity, accuracy, and confidence in your data while enabling efficient multiplexing to measure multiple targets simultaneously.

Background: Multiplex Cytokine Assay Kits

Cytokine Multiplex Assay Kits allow researchers to simultaneously detect the levels of multiple cytokines in a single sample. This is particularly useful for identifying the wide array of changes that can be associated with different pathological conditions. For multianalyte cytokine detection, we offer membrane-based Proteome Profiler Cytokine Antibody Arrays, bead-based Luminex® Assays, and Simple Plex automated ELISAs. For our antibody arrays, we offer human, mouse, or rat XL Cytokine Antibody Arrays that detect 105, 111, or 79 analytes respectively, including interleukins, interferons, chemokines, and members of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily. Our standard Luminex Assays for human, mouse, rat, porcine, and non-human primate (NHP) may also be used to detect many of these same analytes. With a menu of more than 490 analytes to select from, multiplexing with our Luminex assays provides the ability to simultaneously assess up to 50 analytes using magnetic microparticles. Experience consistent biomarker detection and ultra-sensitive results in less than 90 minutes with Ella, our automated benchtop ELISA. Simple Plex offers an extensive selection of over 250 fully validated assays essential to complete your cytokine research. Whether you want a stocked panel, ready to ship in just 2 days, a custom panel with up to 8 assays specific to your research, or a single assay cartridge for up to 72 samples ran simultaneously, Simple Plex has the solution to your research needs.
