How does the Luminex 200 work?
Beads are read on a dual-laser flow-based detection instrument, such as the Luminex 200™ or FlexMap® analyzer. One laser classifies the bead and determines the analyte that is being detected. In addition to flow-based analyzers, magnetic beads can be read using the Luminex MAGPIX® Analyzer.

What is luminex200?
The Luminex® 100/200™ System is a flexible analyzer based on the principles of flow cytometry that enables you to multiplex (simultaneously measure) up to 100 analytes in a single microplate well, using very small samples.
What can Luminex be used for?
Luminex xMAP (Multi-Analyte Profiling) technology enables scientists to measure multiple proteins in a single well. This technology combines advanced fluidics, optics, and digital signal processing with innovated microsphere technology to deliver multiplexed assay capabilities.
How long does a Luminex assay take?
Typical timeline for sample to results for our ProcartaPlex assays is 4.5 hrs. Is it possible to measure ProcartaPlex Luminex plates on a flow cytometer? No. To analyze ProcartaPlex (Luminex) plates, you will need access to a Luminex analyzer such as a Luminex 100/200, MAGPIX, or FLEXMAP 3D system.
What does Luminex mean?
A Luminex assay is a type of immunoassay that precisely measures multiple analytes in one sample. The Luminex® xMAP® technology is a bead-based immunoassay that allows for multiplex detection of up to 100 analytes simultaneously.
Who founded Luminex?
“Luminex looks forward to participating in the growth and development of Rules-Based Medicine.” Loewenbaum is set to succeed Chandler as board chairman. Chandler co-founded the company with his brother, Van Chandler, in 1995. Mark Chandler has been chairman and CEO since then and has been president since June 1999.
What does Luminex Magpix do?
Compact Size: Reduce clutter with a compact instrument requiring minimal linear bench space. Efficiency: Measure up to 50 targets in a single reaction volume and dramatically reduce sample input….Let MAGPIX empower your work with:

What does a Luminex do?
The Luminex® xMAP® technology is a bead-based immunoassay that allows for multiplex detection of up to 100 analytes simultaneously. Color-coded microspheres, or beads, are internally dyed with different proportions of red and infrared fluorophores that correspond to a distinct spectral signature, or bead region.
What does the Luminex 200 performance verification Kit do?
The Luminex 200 Performance Verification Kit is for use with the Luminex 200 System and contains xMAP controls used to verify calibration of the MagPlex and MicroPlex classification channels and reporter channel. Fluidic controls are included for early detection, as well as a lot-specific CD for importing target values.
Is the Luminex 200 system compatible with procartaplex?
The Luminex 200 system is compatible with ProcartaPlex multiplex immunoassays and QuantiGene Plex multiplex gene expression assays. The open architecture of Luminex xMAP technology uses imaging, microspheres, digital signal processing, and traditional chemistry—combining proven technologies in a unique way.
How does the Luminex compact analyzer system work?
Optics in the compact analyzer excite the internal dyes that identify each microsphere as well as any reporter dye captured, providing quantitation of individual analytes on each microsphere. The analyzer reads many beads from each set, enabling rapid and precise results for several targets within a single sample.
What is the open architecture of Luminex xMAP?
The open architecture of Luminex xMAP technology uses imaging, microspheres, digital signal processing, and traditional chemistry—combining proven technologies in a unique way. Sets of magnetic microspheres are color-coded with combinations of red and infrared fluorophores.
