Multiplex Capability
Luminex systems allow testing of up to 500 analytes in a single sample. In the same time it takes to set up one ELISA, multiple analytes can be measured, significantly reducing labor cost.
Overview
Products & Services
Afro-BiomeDX offers numerous diagnostic multiplex tests, some of which are developed within Afro-BiomeDX laboratories as well as those from our esteemed partners such as Innovative Biotech.
Our multiplex bead assays are similar to ELISA, but provide much more practicality than other platforms such as ELISA-based platforms and others currently on the market.
Our value proposition is inherently based on our bead-assay based technology. The Luminex multiplex bead-based assays have a number of significant advantages compared with traditional ELISA technology.
Luminex Technology
Advantages of Luminex Multiplex Bead-Based Assays
Low Sample Requirements
Depending on expression levels, assays require 50 µL of sample or less for multiplex assays while still obtaining accurate results for all analytes.
Broad Detection Range
Multiplex bead-based assays provide the ability to reliably detect proteins across a broad concentration range.
High Throughput
The Luminex system automatically reads up to 96 samples from a conventional microtiter plate.
Combined with the ability to read up to 500 analytes per sample, this provides a high-throughput path to data collection.
xMAP Analysis
Luminex multiplex assays run on the xMAP platform, providing a user-friendly workflow and results that can be analyzed by the operator.
Its laser-based analysis provides additional capabilities, including violet-laser (405 nm) excitation and dual-reporting capabilities.
