Multiplex Up to 50 Analytes Simultaneously With Luminex Assays
Luminex® assays are bead-based immunoassays that allow you to simultaneously quantify 50 target analytes in one sample. Choose from over 450 targets to build your assay. Use the Luminex Discovery Assays during early stage range-finding research. Use the Luminex High Performance assays to validate target analytes from early stage research. Discovery Luminex assays are available as completely custom designed panels or start with one of our many pre-selected panels and customize from there. High Performance Luminex assays are available in completely custom, configurable or ready-to-ship fixed panels.
Use the Luminex Assay Customization Tool to Build By Analyte
Use the Luminex Assay Customization tool to build your Luminex Discovery Assay or Luminex High Performance Assay. This online tool helps you customize your assay and allows you to avoid any incompatibilities. Sort by species, assay type, and research area.

Luminex Fixation Application Note
Because the use of shared instrumentation outside of Biosafety Level (BSL) 3 or 4 containment is a more cost-effective option for researchers working with biological select agents, a process for the inactivation of infectious material is necessary for the safe transfer of samples and reagents to lower biosafety levels. To address this issue, we decided to test the hypothesis that R&D Systems® Luminex® Assays are compatible with standard fixation protocols.

Background Information
Taken together, R&D Systems® Discovery and High Performance (HP) assays comprise the largest selection of Luminex assays on the market. Assays are available for human, mouse and rat samples such as serum, plasma, and cell culture media. Use Discovery assays to profile potential biomarker candidates. Discovery assays allow you to choose from over 450 targets to multiplex up to 50 analytes in each assay. The Luminex Assay Customization tool allows you to carefully choose compatible targets. It will obviate any error caused by multiplexing with incompatible analytes. Build your assay using analytes of choice or purchase an off-the-shelf preconfigured panel. A wide variety of panels are available including: Cytokine/Chemokine, Immuno-Oncology Checkpoint, T Cell panels, MMP panels, Sepsis panels and more!
Once you have narrowed down your candidates, verify biomarker candidates with R&D Systems Luminex HP assays. HP assays are correlated with R&D Systems Quantikine ELISAs, which are the most accurate, precise and highly cited ELISA on the market. Luminex HP assays undergo a rigorous validation process that includes validation of linearity of dilution as well as recovery. HP assays use custom diluents that allow for increase sensitivity. Configure your own with the Luminex Assay Customization tool or purchase an off the shelf panel. Preconfigured panels include: cytokine/ chemokine, cardiac panels and others. Analytes in preconfigured HP panels have been optimized to work together.
