What does Luminex measure?
A Luminex assay is a type of immunoassay that precisely measures multiple analytes in one sample. The Luminex® xMAP® technology is a bead-based immunoassay that allows for multiplex detection of up to 100 analytes simultaneously.
How does the Luminex assay work?
Luminex multiplex assays use xMAP bead-based technology to simultaneously detect and quantitate multiple secreted proteins including cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. This multiplex technology can also be used to measure gene expression utilizing the Invitrogen QuantiGene Plex assays.

What is Luminex blood test?
A Principle of the Luminex assay to detect HLA antibodies. Each specific bead impregnated with two fluorophores is coated with HLA from cell lines and platelets or recom-binant HLA. In case the test serum contains antibodies directed against the specific HLA it will bind to the appropriate bead.
Who founded Luminex?
