Bio-Plex Pro™ Rat Cytokine, Chemokine, and Growth Factor Assays by Bio-Rad

Bio-Plex Pro™ rat cytokine, chemokine, and growth factor magnetic bead–based assays detect and measure levels of 29 analytes in diverse matrices such as serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants.

Cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors are cell signaling proteins that mediate a wide range of physiological responses, including immunity, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. They are associated with a spectrum of diseases ranging from tumor growth, to infections, to Parkinson's disease.

Based on 6.5 µm magnetic beads, these assays are compatible with both vacuum and magnetic wash stations. Magnetic washing simplifies plate processing, provides increased throughput, and results in decreased variability and increased reproducibility.

Key Features:

• Magnetic bead–based for simplified plate processing
• Developed to deliver accurate, reproducible measurements in multiple sample matrices
• Requires as little as 12.5 µl of sample for both multiplex and singleplex assays
• Available as all-in-one, space-saving complete kits
• Includes premixed standards for generation of standard curves over a broad dynamic range for each target
• Compatible with the new Bio-Plex Pro rat diabetes assays for an expanded biomarker profile
