Antibody arrays

We offer cytokine arrays and other antibody arrays for more than 400 cytokines, chemokines, and other proteins.
Arrays are available for human, mouse, rat and other species.
Antibody arrays are an ideal tool to identify the key changes in a protein pathway or network. Cytokine arrays particularly are used extensively in immunology research.
Antibody arrays are multiplex immunoassays that use the ELISA sandwich antibody pair principle, allowing multiple proteins to be detected within one experiment. Multiple capture antibodies are pre-spotted on to a solid surface, the sample is applied and analytes are then captured, the addition of detection antibodies complete the sandwich complex.
Choose our quantitative antibody arrays on glass slides to quantitate up to 40 proteins per array, with as little as 50 µL of sample, and analyze with a microarray laser slide scanner.
- Choose our membrane antibody cytokine arrays to quickly screen and profile samples across up to 96 proteins per array, with 200 µL–1 mL of sample, and analyze just like a chemiluminescent western blot.
Examples of our popular antibody arrays include: cytokine array ab133997, our human cytokine array (membrane antibody array) that measures 42 different cytokines; ab134001, our human apoptosis membrane antibody array and ab197419, our human angiogenesis quantitative antibody array.
