xMAP™ Technology

The Luminex xMAP Platform offers technological solutions focussed on
customer needs for the analysis of

Multiple PCR products
Diagnostic antibody – antigen reactions
Protein – protein- interactions

The Luminex xMAP technology allows the development of multiparameter test systems for simultaneous analysis of up to 100 parameters in a single sample. The technology is based on microscopic spherical polystyrol particles, the so-called microspheres, that serve as a solid phase for molecular detection reactions:

Immunoassay

Nucleic Acid Assay

Enzyme Assay

Receptor-Ligand

The microspheres are currently available in one hundred different fluorescent color tones of red and infrared, each carrying its own specific detection reagent on the surface. As a result, up to one hundred different detection reactions can be carried out simultaneously in a very small sample volume.

Luminex Technology

Assays based on the Luminex xMAP Technology allow the simultaneous quantitative measurement of up to 100 parameters in a single sample.

The multiplex assay format combines high specificity and sensitivity, exact quantification as well as automated test performance and data analysis. Thus, bead-based multiplex assays are a cost-effective alternative to conventional tests.
