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, SeroMAPTM, and MagPlex®-TAG microspheres.
