Multiplex assays

Product Categories

Multiplex assays combine several target analytes in a single reaction volume to enable researchers to measure multiple biomarkers simultaneously. By measuring multiple analytes in the same reaction volume, multiplex assays allow you to harvest more insightful data to inform better decision-making, accelerate research and increase the pace of discovery.

We offer a wide range of multiplex assays, such as antibody arrays and FirePlex^® assays, including our class-leading high-throughput FirePlex-384 and FirePlex-1536 formats.

FirePlex multiplex assays

Our FirePlex multiplex assays are designed with multiplexing in mind, to help you overcome common challenges in biomarker analysis and accelerate discovery. FirePlex particle technology allows us to build multiplex assays with high plex, sensitivity, and high throughput capacity (in 384-well and 1536-well plate formats).

Compared to traditional multiplex assays, FirePlex assays provide a faster, automatable workflow, smaller sample requirements, and easy readout on both flow cytometers and high-content imagers, saving hands-on time and sample. With the high sensitivity and unrivaled reproducibility capabilities of recombinant antibodies, FirePlex multiplex assays power your progress with robust, consistent data.

We offer FirePlex assays for multiplex proteins (FirePlex immunoassays) or miRNA (FirePlex miRNA assays) analysis, including:

- FirePlex-96 immunoassay: up to 70-plex in 96-well plate, ideal for biomarker profiling.

- FirePlex-384 and FirePlex-1536 immunoassays: up to 10-plex high-throughput (384- and 1536-well) formats with no-wash, automated workflow, suitable for drug discovery and high-throughput compound or biomarker screening

- FirePlex miRNA assays: miRNAs profiling directly from small amounts of biofluid or FFPE, without RNA purification or pre-amplification steps.

Antibody arrays

Our antibody arrays, which are similar to ELISA but with enhanced multiplexing capabilities, can analyze hundreds of different proteins simultaneously at significantly lower cost, time, and effort.

Quantitative and semi-quantitative arrays offer 40 and 96 analyte multiplexing respectively, for comparative analysis of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, as well as many other biological proteins and pathways in human, mouse, rat, and other species.
