MicroPlex® Multiplexing Microspheres
xMAP® Technology uses color-coded microspheres to detect multiple protein or oligonucleotide analytes from a single aliquot of sample in a single reaction well, enabling you to generate more data while saving sample, time, and reagents. Depending on your targets and the application, there are five different microsphere types to select from to produce the best experimental results. MicroPlex® are carboxylated polystyrene mi…

xMAP® Technology uses color-coded microspheres to detect multiple protein or oligonucleotide analytes from a single aliquot of sample in a single reaction well, enabling you to generate more data while saving sample, time, and reagents. Depending on your targets and the application, there are five different microsphere types to select from to produce the best experimental results.
MicroPlex® are carboxylated polystyrene microspheres that have been dyed into 100 spectrally distinct sets or “regions”, allowing them to be individually identified by an xMAP instrument. In the multiplex assay environment the microspheres act as both the surface for the solution phase assay and the spectral identifier that the instrument detects. The open architecture of xMAP Technology enables users to build custom multiplex assays or select from a broad menu commercially available kits.
MicroPlex microspheres are:
- Compatible with both protein and nucleic acid applications
- Available regions: 100
- Available concentration: 12.5 (millions/mL)
- Available in multiple vial sizes: 1 mL, 4 mL, 16 mL
- Compatible xMAP instruments: FLEXMAP 3D®, Luminex® 100/200™
- Additional xMAP microspheres: MagPlex®, MagPlex-TAG™, LumAvidin®, SeroMAP™
Detection of Vaginitis Causing Pathogens
Vaginitis results in >13 million physician office visits per year, and costs over $1 billion to the US healthcare system annually. However, up to 72% of women with vaginitis may remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. In this white paper, Luminex presents a summary of the condition and potential ways to effectively diagnose it in patients.
