Array System Overview
The Bio-Plex ® suspension array system is a flow-based dual-laser system for
simultaneously identifying and quantitating up to 100 different analytes in a
single biomolecular assay (xMAP technology). The system detects and
measures molecules bound to the surfaces of fluorescent microspheres,
providing highly accurate, real-time digital analysis of serum or culture media
samples as small as 50 μl. This allows quantitative analysis of a wide variety of
cell biology assays, including immunoassays, complex genetic assays, and
enzymatic assays.
The Bio-Plex suspension array system consists of a fully integrated array
reader and microplate platform, with an optional HTF (high-throughput
fluidics) sheath delivery module.
