LUMINEX Bio-Plex 3D is a laboratory equipment and accessory used for multiplexed analysis. It is a novel technology which can be used for rapid and quantitative measurements of protein biomarkers. It utilizes a suspension array platform which allows for simultaneous measurements of multiple protein targets with a single sample. It employs a fluorescent dye to detect analytes with a high sensitivity and an interpretation of the spectrum for accurate quantification. Bio-Plex 3D is a three-dimensional array platform composed of multiplexed particles which interface with the instrument. Each particle contains an immobilized capture antibody set to capture and identify a range of analytes. The particle size is optimized for optimal and specific capture of the analytes. The particles are then suspended in a liquid medium and incubated with the sample and stirred to activate binding between the capture antibody and the analyte. The assay includes fluorescently-conjugated secondary antibodies tagged with a peptide-nucleic-acid (PNA) labeled DNA or an oligonucleotide tag attached to the antibody. The attachment of the PNA or oligonucleotide tag to the secondary antibody enhances the sensitivity of the assay, provides a longer stability in the binding reaction, and enables better discrimination between antigens. Once the binding is complete, the sample is then assayed on LUMINEX Bio-Plex 3D platform. The platform is composed of a double laser, optics, and a fluorescent detector system which illuminates the particles to detect and measure the fluorescence emitted from the sample. The fluorescence emission pattern is then analyzed and processed by a computer to provide quantitative information about the amount of analyte bound to the particle. Bio-Plex 3D has been found to provide higher sensitivity and resolution than conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and other analytical techniques. It can be used in both research and diagnostic laboratories to measure many different types of analytes such as cytokines, hormones, antibodies, and antigens. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with other laboratory equipment such as microscopes and high throughput systems to accurately detect proteins in various biological samples. Overall, LUMINEX Bio-Plex 3D is a robust and versatile laboratory equipment and accessory used for multiplexed analysis. It offers an advanced method of rapidly and accurately measuring a wide range of analytes with a single sample. It is a useful and powerful tool to have in any laboratory setting.
