Used LUMINEX 200 #9083370 for sale

LUMINEX 200 is a multi-application laboratory instrument, and a widely used benchtop laboratory equipment and accessory designed to provide uniform results during multiplex immunoassay experiments. It enables detection, quantification, and evaluation of biological molecules in cell and tissue culture samples. 200 uses xMAP technology, which is based on a novel, bead-based flow cytometric technique which uses a multiplex array of microspheres with distinct fluorescent characteristics to measure multiple proteins simultaneously in a single sample. This allows for both low-volume sample analysis and for the simultaneous measurement of multiple proteins in one sample. LUMINEX 200 uses microbeads of different sizes, each bearing a barcoded "tag" which identifies the nature of the antigen and enables antigen-specific assays to be identified and quantified. This allows for the simultaneous analysis of several proteins in the same sample. Additionally, 200 can detect multiple proteins in samples that have very low concentrations. LUMINEX 200 instrument is easy to use and can be set up easily, and the user does not need extensive multivariate analysis experience to achieve optimal results. It needs to be connected to a power outlet and a computer to get started. Once set up, the instrument can accommodate up to twenty four reagent vials and up to twenty four samples. 200 produces results in very high resolution, with each sample and each component clearly visible in the data output. It produces results in a matter of minutes due to the shorter run times for each sample, thereby providing faster and more accurate results. In addition to multiplexing, LUMINEX 200 also offers a variety of other features such as the ability to process samples with low sample volumes, low cross-reactivity, and accurate quantitation of sample components. 200 also provides easy data extraction and submission which is used to appeal to a wide variety of customers, and support for various platforms and connectibility to a data network. It is also compatible with various software options for data analysis and visualization. Overall, LUMINEX 200 is a versatile instrument which enables the simultaneous detection and quantitation of multiple proteins in a single sample. It is highly reliable and accurate, quick, and easily accessible to the user. Its compact design and low cost make it ideal for multiplex applications on a laboratory benchtop.
