MagPlex® Microspheres

Magnetic microspheres offer improved washing efficiency and the ability to measure up to 500 targets simultaneously

MagPlex® Microspheres to measure up to 500 targets - Diasorin

About

Similar to MicroPlex® Microspheres, MagPlex® Microspheres are carboxylated polystyrene microparticles, or “beads,” that have been dyed into spectrally distinct sets, or “regions,” allowing them to be individually identified by an xMAP® instrument. These uniquely color-coded beads provide a user with an addressable substrate on which to perform multiple bio-analytical reactions in a single well.

There are several advantages to MagPlex® Microspheres over traditional MicroPlex® Microspheres. MagPlex® Microspheres are magnetic, and with the use of a magnetic separator, they can be separated from solution quickly and easily. This improves bead recovery during handling and wash steps and facilitates assay automation.

Additionally, MagPlex® Microspheres are available in 500 unique regions, enabling the development of assays that can measure up to 500 different analytes in the same well.

All microspheres are general-use components for further manufacture of xMAP® bioassays.

MagPlex® Microspheres are available at a concentration of 2.5 million and 12.5 million beads/mL and can be ordered in 1 mL and 4 mL vial sizes. MagPlex® Microspheres are also offered in a variety of custom volumes. Please see the MagPlex® Custom Volume Ordering Guidelines or contact Luminex to inquire about custom volume options.
