Procarta Immunoassay by Affymetrix, Inc.

All the Procarta Immunoassay kits are available in 1- and 10- plate sizes for two formats: (1) fixed, pre-formatted assay panels or (2) By Request, mix-to-order customer defined assay panels. By Request orders are processed and delivered in a pre-mixed ready to use format. Procarta Immunoassay Kits include all necessary components to complete a full assay.

Procarta protein assays use the xMAP® technology (mutli-analyte profiling beads) to enable quantitation of multiple protein targets simultaneously. The xMAP system combines a flow cytometer, fluorescent-dyed microspheres (beads), lasers and digital signal processing to effectively allow multiplexing of up to 100 unique assays within a single sample. The Procarta Immunoassay Kits on magnetic beads are compatible with all Luminex® and Luminex-based instruments currently available.

Procarta Immunoassay Features:

• Largest menu of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors — more than 260 protein assays and thousands of gene expression assays.
• We QC Test every kit to ensure the best performance for sensitivity and reproducibility.
• Quantify human, mouse, rat, non-human primate, canine, or porcine cytokines, MMPs, or coagulations factors in cell culture supernatant, serum, plasma, CSF, BALF, saliva or cell lysate samples.
• Requires as little as 25 µL of sample.
• Multiplex up to 54 analytes.
• Complete assay in less than 3 hours for polystyrene beads, or less than 4 hours for magnetic beads.
• Reproducible, robust, and sensitive assay.
• Ability to use the same cell culture sample for our QuantiGene Assay for mRNA analysis.
