MAGNETIC BEAD IMMUNOASSAYS

摘要

The Procarta Immunoassay Kit detects cytokines, growth factors, and other proteins with great sensitivity and reproducibility. The new magnetic bead format is an affordable and simple solution that helps automate and streamline the workflow for protein-expression profiling and quantitation. The Procarta Immunoassays provide a comprehensive analyte menu available in six species including human, mouse, rat, nonhuman primate, canine, and porcine. The assays are compatible with many sample types including plasma, serum, ce-rebrospinal fluid, saliva, bronchoalveolar fluid, nasal lavage, cultured cells, and cell lysates. All reagents included in the kit are optimized to the species and sample type to address matrix and species-specific effects. All analytes are now available in both magnetic and polystyrene bead formats. In addition, Affymetrix's custom manufacturing capability allows customers to order customized assay panels, and the ready-to-use assays allow for a simplified workflow that can be completed in less than four hours.
