Introduction
Bio-Plex Pro ™ Human Cancer Biomarker Assays
Bio-Plex Pro human cancer biomarker assays are designed to meet
the needs of the most demanding preclinical and clinical research
environments. These magnetic bead–based multiplex immunoassays
include a unique blend of soluble biomarkers involved in disease
processes such as angiogenesis, metastasis, inflammation, cell
proliferation, cell adhesion, and apoptosis. With diluents optimized
for enhanced performance in clinical matrices, a fast protocol, and a
flexible kit format, the human cancer biomarker assays promise to make
multiplexing easier and more reliable than ever.
Multiplexing with Bio-Plex Pro Assays
Bio-Plex Pro assays enable researchers to quantify multiple protein
biomarkers in a single well of a 96-well plate in just three to four hours.
These robust immunoassays require as little as 12.5 µl of serum or
plasma or 50 µl of other biological fluid. The use of magnetic (MagPlex)
beads allows researchers to automate wash steps on a Bio-Plex Pro (or
similar) wash station. Magnetic separation offers greater convenience and
reproducibility compared to vacuum filtration.
