Luminex® xMAP Platform
A versatile analyzer for a wide range of applications.
Simultaneously measure up to 100 analytes for fast and cost efficient
bioassay results.
The Luminex 200 system is a multi-analyte bioassay
detection system capable of multiplexing up to 100 assays
simultaneously in a single microtiter plate well. This system combines
internally colored microspheres, lasers, optics, fluidics, and advanced
digital processing into a single, integrated system that increases
assay specificity and throughput.
Luminex 200 System
The Luminex 200 system is specifically designed for
multiplexing a wide range of bioassays such as immunoassays,
enzyme functions, receptor-ligand interactions, genotyping,
and HLA typing. It is specifically engineered to meet and
exceed
the needs for in-vitro diagnostic requirements in clinical
laboratories.
Luminex Strengths
Simultaneously Analyze up to 100 Assays
There are a total of 100 unique xMAP microspheres that act as both the
identifier and the solid surface to build the assay.
Improve Experiment Accuracy
Each microsphere is internally labeled with fluorescent dyes to allow
for accurate identification of each bead. After
identification of
the bead, the reporter fluorescence is measured giving a median
fluorescence intensity for that particular assay.
Enables Experiments with Small Sample Amounts
The Luminex analyzer allows for the simultaneous measurement of up to
100 analytes in a single microtiter plate well using small sample
volumes.
Enables High Speed Measurements
The Luminex system takes advantage of flow cytometry technology,
allowing
for rapid measurements. For example, an assay of 50 samples
with 100 analytes
(estimate 100 beads per one sample, for a total of 5,000 beads) can be
acquired in 30 minutes to an hour.
What’s New in the Luminex
200 System
-
Simplified probe height adjustment without the use
of any tools.
-
Improved reliability and decreased time of the sample probe placement.
- New air compressor that allows quieter operation and
improved reliability.
-
A removable front bezel enables easy access to the front of the
instrument.
-
Painted fluidics compartment that minimizes the potential for
corrosion.
- New feet that improves overall system alignment.
