Invitrogen™ Cytokine 35-Plex Human Panel

By measuring 35 analytes simultaneously, the Luminex assay panel helps provide more data from each sample, saving both money and time compared to more traditional systems (such as ELISA) used in research. This assay may be run alone or in combination with other select Luminex singleplex kits. The panel employs magnetic beads, facilitating automation, decreasing hands-on time, and increasing throughput and precision. The panel is suitable for use with the Luminex 100™/200™, FLEXMAP 3D™, and MAGPIX™ systems.

• Superior performance—accurate, reproducible, and sensitive quantitation of multiple proteins
• High quality—fully qualified antibodies permit excellent specificity and sensitivity
• Fast and easy protocols—perform your multiplex assay and analyze your data typically in less than one day

Comprehensive Human Analyte Panel
The Human Cytokine Magnetic 35-Plex Panel provides reagents for the accurate, reproducible, and sensitive quantitation of human proteins including: EGF, Eotaxin, FGF-basic, G-CSF, GM-CSF, HGF, IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-1 beta, IL-1 alpha, IL-1RA, IL-2, IL-2R, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12 (p40/p70) IL-13, IL-15, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, IP-10, MCP-1, MIG, MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, RANTES, TNF-alpha, VEGF.

Luminex xMAP Technology—Effective and Proven Analytical Tool
The Human Cytokine Magnetic 35-Plex Panel is based on xMAP™ technology. The use of a suspension bead-based technology enables the multiplexing capabilities of the Luminex assays. Magnetic microspheres are internally dyed with red and infrared fluorophores of differing intensities. Each bead is given a unique number, or bead region, allowing differentiation of one bead from another. Beads covalently bound to different antibodies can be mixed in the same assay, utilizing a 96-well microplate format. Upon completion of the sandwich immunoassay, magnetic beads must be measured using a Luminex detection system (MAGPIX, 100/200, or FLEXMAP 3D). The instrument uses xPONENT™ software to distinguish bead color (analyte) and R-PE fluorescence intensity (assay signal strength) to quantify target(s).

Magnetic Beads Let You Do More with Your Time
Magnetic bead-based assays use Luminex MagPlex magnetic microsphere. All other assay components are the same as the equivalent Luminex polystyrene bead-based assays providing identical quality and consistency performance. MagPlex technology takes advantage of magnetic properties to simplify assay wash steps and maximize uniformity of results. Magnetic bead-based assays also enable automation, decrease hands-on time, and increase throughput and precision. Easy to use protocols allow you to get your results in as little as 3.5 hours. In addition, these assays are compatible with both vacuum and magnetic wash stations and work well with the MAGPIX system as well as other Luminex xMAP platforms.
