Technique provides critical data for development of monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars At a 2018 xMAP® Connect user group meeting, Xing Wang, President of Array Bridge, spoke about how his team is using xMAP Technology to streamline the development of new biologics and biosimilars for pharma/biotech scientists. The 30-minute presentation focuses on protein conformational analysis (PCA), […]
From full development to providing guidance, we can help you get to a functional assay—faster. The Luminex team is pleased to announce the launch of our custom development service, LuminexPLORE Lab, for assays based on xMAP® Technology. For more than 20 years, we have collaborated with customers and partners around the world in designing and […]
New protocol allows scientists to create assays in containment labs and perform analysis elsewhere Scientists in the UK have developed a new protocol that utilizes Luminex multiplex assays even in specialized laboratories where space for instruments is limited. A recent hazardous pathogen study has broad implications for any research team, especially those facing space limitations. […]
Interview shows why clinical routine and advanced science need to work together It’s not often we get to hear the patient perspective, which makes this recent Mendelspod interview featuring a researcher and the husband of the cancer patient he’s helping particularly compelling. The 30-minute podcast features Christian Regenbrecht, CEO of Berlin-based CELLphenomics GmbH (better known […]
How to manage interference in immunoassays with careful design choices Interference is a non-trivial concern when designing multiplex immunoassays, but it can be managed with careful attention to potential problems. That’s the gist of a brief video presentation from Richard Fuerstenberg, senior commercial application scientist at R&D Systems. The presentation begins with a look at […]
Bio-Rad expert shares SMARTS design principles for optimizing multiplex immunoassays Ever wondered how the pros handle design for xMAP® Technology assays? This five-minute video presentation from Bio-Rad’s Amy Hendricksen offers a fast, fun look at the core design principles that are important to any multiplex immunoassay. Bio-Rad was the first Luminex partner and has been […]
Amnis® ImageStream®X Mk II imaging flow cytometry helps answer a longstanding question about what triggers cell mitosis It has been more than 140 years since the discovery of the mitosis process, but until now, scientists were hard-pressed to explain what triggers cell division. The most common hypotheses have speculated that cells divide when they reach […]
Plus: 6 tips for QuantiGene assays When you want an assay that can detect nucleic acids, you’ll likely choose the high-quality Invitrogen™ ProcartaPlex™ and QuantiGene™ Plex assays from Thermo Fisher Scientific, a Luminex partner. The QuantiGene assay uses branched DNA (bDNA) technology, relying on signal amplification instead of target amplification for optimal quantitation of transcripts. […]
