The Luminex 100/200 System employs flow cytometry in the measurement of the signal from the xMAP microspheres that are the basis for BACs-on-Beads products. The system allows measurement of up to 100 analytes in a single microplate well, using very small sample volumes.
The total system includes the Luminex 100/200 analyzer, the Luminex XYP plate handling platform, the Luminex SD sheath fluid delivery system, software and PC. The Luminex 100/200 analyzer integrates key xMAP detection components such as lasers, optics, fluidics and high-speed digital signal processors. The system’s xPONENT® software is designed for protocol-based data acquisition with robust data regression analysis.
