Bio-Rad Bio-Plex Pro Human Acute Phase Reagent and Diluent Kits - Manual (Page 9)

Section 4
Required Materials
The Bio-Plex Pro™ acute phase assay panel is divided into two separate
multiplex assay kits based on the sample dilution required for optimal
performance.
• Each assay requires one Bio Plex ® acute phase reagent kit.
• The Bio-Plex acute phase diluent kit (see next section) is
recommended for serum and plasma samples. One diluent
kit contains sufficient volumes for performing a 5-plex assay
and a 4-plex assay or two 5-plex assays or two 4-plex
assays, as long as dilutions are performed as instructed.
The Bio Plex Pro acute phase assay kits contain the following components:
Multiplex assays
• Antibody-conjugated beads (25x concentration)
• Detection antibody (10x concentration)
• Acute phase standard (2 vials/lyophilized)
• Acute phase control (2 vials/lyophilized)
