Luminex 200
The Luminex System is a flexible analyzer based on the principles of
flow cytometry that is designed to meet the needs of laboratory medicine
and the care of patients, as well being used in the research environment.
The system enables you to multiplex (simultaneously measure) up to 100
analytes in a single microplate well, using very small sample volumes.
The system delivers fast and cost-effective bioassay results on many
assay formats including nucleic acid assays, receptor-ligand assays,
immunoassays and enzymatic assays.
The Luminex System is the combination of three core Multi-Analyte
Profiling (xMAP) technologies. The first is xMAP microspheres, a
family of 100 fluorescently dyed 5.6 micron-sized polystyrene microspheres
that act as both the identifier and the solid surface to build the assay.
The second is a flow cytometry-based instrument, the Luminex analyzer, which
integrates key xMAP detection components such as lasers, optics, advanced
fluidics and high-speed digital signal processors. The third component is the
IS 2.3 software, which is designed for template-based data acquisition with
robust data regression analysis - ideal for the clinical laboratory setting
