Multiplex Immunoassays

Multiplex Immunoassays
Immunoassays such as ELISAs are useful and widely used procedures in biomedical research. For the simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes, the multiplex immunoassay is another suitable technique. First introduced as multiplex bead array assays, the method uses fluorescent color-coded bead sets that are coated with antibodies, each specific to an analyte of interest. The detection of both the capture bead and antibody allows for simultaneous measurement of multiple targets from a single sample. Multiplex assays have been developed that can be performed using multiplex readers, flow cytometers, and ELISA plate readers. These assays are ideal for research areas that involve many unique targets, such as cytokines, hormones, growth factors, and kinases.
