What is the reason for the recommendation to use 35 µL sample volume, instead of the default 50 µL volume, for Luminex multiplex containing > 25 analytes, when assayed on Luminex MAGPIX® analyzer?

R&D Systems recommend 35 µL sample volume for > 25 analytes to control the number of beads in the sample load when using Luminex MAGPIX® analyzer. Luminex MAGPIX® analyzer is a non-flow-based reader which utilizes a magnet to hold the magnetic microparticles in a monolayer in a chamber where the beads are imaged and then processed by the software to generate data. Since MAGPIX® system pushes the entire Sample Load Volume into the chamber, multiplex assay containing > 25 analytes may overload the chamber capacity with 50 µL sample load default setting. The captured images can have too many beads in them to give accurate results, and some of the analytes/regions may present lower than desired bead counts.

Does the Luminex Rat Magnetic Assay detect soluble form or membrane-bound analyte?

The sample types typically validated by R&D Systems for Luminex assays contain soluble form of proteins, and therefore it is expected that the soluble form of proteins are detected. It is possible there are assays that also detect the membrane form of respective target proteins, however, R&D Systems does not generally evaluate our assays against samples known to contain membrane-bound proteins.

Is the reconstituted standard a concentrate?

For Discovery Assays, each standard cocktail is a concentrate upon reconstitution with the volume specified on the Certificate of Analysis (CoA). After creating Standard 1 following the table in the product insert, the Standard 1 value is the concentration listed on the CoA.

Performance Validation for Rat Luminex® Discovery Assay

Luminex Assays are validated for use with cell culture supernatants, plasma and serum. All Luminex assays are tested for sensitivity, intra-assay precision, inter-assay precision and to ensure assay linearity for validated sample types. Antibody pairs are selected and tested to confirm the parallel detection of natural and recombinant standard protein and to ensure the accurate determination of target analytes within biological samples. Assays for each target analyte are screened against all target analytes to confirm low antibody cross-reactivity.

More Information About Magnetic Bead-based Multiplex Kits For The Luminex® Platform

Magnetic Luminex High Performance Assays are designed for use with the Luminex MAGPIX CCD Imager. Alternatively, kits can be used with the Luminex 200™ or FLEXMAP 3D, dual laser, flow-based sorting and detection platforms.

Analyte-specific antibodies are pre-coated onto color-coded microparticles. Microparticles, standards, and samples are pipetted into wells and the immobilized antibodies bind the analytes of interest. After washing away any unbound substances, a biotinylated antibody cocktail specific to the analytes of interest is added to each well. Following a wash to remove any unbound biotinylated antibody, Streptavidin-Phycoerythrin conjugate (Streptavidin-PE), which binds to the biotinylated detection antibodies, is added to each well. A final wash removes unbound Streptavidin-PE and the microparticles are resuspended in buffer and read using a Luminex analyzer. One laser is bead-specific and determines which analyte is being detected. A magnet in the analyzer captures and holds the superparaMagnetic microparticles in a monolayer. Two spectrally distinct Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) illuminate the beads. One LED identifies the analyte that is being detected and the second LED determines the magnitude of the PE-derived signal, which is in direct proportion to the amount of analyte bound. Each well is imaged with a CCD camera. Kits can also be used with Luminex 100/200 or a FLEXMAP 3D dual laser, flow-based systems.
