Multiplex Bead Array - MUSC ProteoGenomics Facility

Services » Multiplex Bead Array (Bio-plex)

The core provides multiplex analysis services allowing researchers to quantify levels of cytokines and phosphoproteins as well as microRNAs.

Bio-Plex 200 Multiplex System

The Bio-Plex system is a flexible, easy-to-use multiplex analysis system that permits the BIAcoresimultaneous analysis of up to 100 different biomolecules (i.e., proteins, peptides, or nucleic acids) in a single microplate well. For example, by multiplexing with the Bio-Plex system, researchers can quantify levels of cytokines and phosphoproteins in small volume samples (50 ul), as well as microRNAs. The reader combines two lasers, fluidics, and real-time digital signal processing to distinguish up to 100 different sets of color-coded polystyrene beads, each bearing a different assay. The microplate platform allows the automated analysis of 96-well plates with a throughput of more than 1,800 assay points (19-plex assay) in 30 minutes.
