Bioplex

The Bio-Plex system is a flexible, easy-to-use multiplex analysis system that permits the simultaneous analysis of up to 100 different biomolecules (proteins, peptides, or nucleic acids) in a single microplate well. By multiplexing with the Bio-Plex system, researchers can dramatically increase the amount of useful information from rare or volume-limited samples such as mouse or rat serum, and decipher complex interrelationships among proteins involved in signal transduction pathways. The microplate platform allows the automated analysis of 96-well plates with a throughput of more than 1,800 assay points (for a 23-plex assay) in 30 minutes.

Individual (singleplex) cytokine, phosphoprotein, and total target assays are designed to provide more flexibility. These assays can be used independently or combined to test for a specific set of proteins in a single sample. x-Plex assays are specially premixed multiplex assays that are quality tested at Bio-Rad and are in a convenient format for repeat sample testing. Catalog numbers for x-Plex assays in one or ten 96-well plate formats are available at www.bio-rad.com/bio-plex/x-plex/ .

Kit Purchase:

Please contact the Core Facility before placing an order for a kit, to insure instrument time, etc. The Core facility receives a discount on Bio-Rad kits. To receives this discount and to get a price quote contact Rick Cowan at rick_cowan@bio-rad.com

*The Core Facility has available a 96 well-plate vacuum and shaker for use to prepare your samples. Customers are welcome to use these items in our lab to prepare your samples. However, the Core Facility does not offer a service to prepare your samples for you. Facility personnel will run the samples on the instrument after the prep is complete. Core facility personnel are not responsible for the preparing of your samples in any way.
