Luminex Multiplex Immunoassay

Luminex Multiplex Immunoassay Service

Our Luminex assays are high-throughput, multiplex bead-based assays that allow simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes (proteins and mRNA) in a single sample—using as little as 10 μL from human, mouse, or other sources. This powerful technology enables detection of:

  • ~150 mouse cytokines/chemokines

  • ~300 human cytokines/chemokines

  • Proteins involved in cancer, apoptosis, inflammation, immunity, diabetes, kidney toxicity, and more

  • Histone modifications, transcription factor activity, gene expression, and DNA copy number variation

Luminex allows:

✔️ Quantitative detection of cytokines, chemokines, cancer biomarkers, and signaling proteins in lysates, serum, plasma, and supernatants
✔️ Simultaneous multiplexing — detect proteins, peptides, or nucleic acids in a single sample volume with reproducible results
✔️ Phosphorylation & post-translational insights — interrogate multiple protein modifications in one assay
✔️ High-throughput capability — our FlexMAP 3D and Luminex-200 systems analyze hundreds of biomolecules from >10 μL samples in 96- or 384-well formats

Color-coded microspheres allow simultaneous detection of dozens to hundreds of biomarkers, delivering high-throughput, reliable results from minimal sample volume.
