Description
The Bio-Plex Pro™ human acute phase 4-plex immunoassay includes coupled beads, detection antibodies, standards, and controls. This 4-plex panel is in a 1 x 96-well format and detects:
• α-2-macroglobin
• C-reactive protein (CRP)
• Haptoglobin
• Serum amyloid P
Based on 8.0 µm magnetic beads, this assay is compatible with both vacuum and magnetic wash stations. Magnetic washing simplifies plate processing, provides increased throughput, and results in decreased variability and increased reproducibility.
Key Features
• Allows detection of 4 human acute phase biomarkers
• Provides excellent sensitivity with both the automated washing system and a standard vacuum manifold
• Eliminates manual filtration steps (with automated washing), increasing throughput and reproducibility
• Includes controls for generating QC samples
Additional Necessary Reagents
In addition to this 4-plex panel, the following items are needed to perform a Bio-Plex Pro human acute phase assay:
• Bio-Plex Pro human acute phase reagent kit — includes assay reagents and instructions required to prepare samples and acquire data
• Bio-Plex Pro human acute phase diluent kit — includes diluents for diluting samples, standards, and controls (one diluent kit is sufficient to perform both the 5-plex and the 4-plex assays)
Instrument Compatibility
• Bio-Plex ® 200 systems
• Bio-Plex Pro™ wash station
This product is not compatible with the Bio-Plex ® MAPGIX™ and Bio-Plex 3D systems due to the bead size.
