System streamlines high-content Xmap assays, enabling highly reproducible, simultaneous quantification of up to 100 different analytes in a single small-volume sample
By automating microplate setup and transfer, the Qiagen BioRobot LiquiChip system streamlines high-content Xmap assays, enabling highly reproducible, simultaneous quantification of up to 100 different analytes in a single small-volume sample.
This level of multiplexing provides a complete overview of biomarkers or related groups of biomolecules in each sample.
Applications using Xmap assays include analysis of endocrine and paracrine mediators (eg, hormones, cytokines, and chemokines), cell-signaling pathways (eg, kinase cascades), serological profiles, and other groups of biomolecules relevant to life-science and drug discovery research.
Automation increases assay throughput and reproducibility, and the high Z'-factor values typically obtained reflect the robustness of the LiquiChip system and its suitability for the types of assay carried out in the drug discovery process.
Specialist packs - providing all accessories needed, a QiaSoft protocol template, installation, and training - ensure easy and efficient startup.
A modular system and application upgrade packages give the flexibility to adapt instrument as projects and requirements develop, and allow integration of any Luminex 100 system.
