Let xMAP^® microspheres
do the heavy lifting

xMAP^® Technology uses color-coded beads to test for multiple targets from a single sample.
Each polystyrene microsphere contains specific concentrations of internal dyes that correlate to a specific bead region. Although the internal dyes differ between regions, the outer coating of carboxyl groups is the same across all MicroPlex^® and MagPlex^® bead regions. This gives customers the flexibility to couple their analyte of choice to any bead region, creating endless possibilities for assay development. 

In addition to the MicroPlex^® and MagPlex^® microspheres, Luminex offers specialized beads for specific applications, such as MagPlex^®-Avidin, SeroMAP^TM, and MagPlex^®-TAG microspheres.
