Luminex and Bio-Rad Sponsor Webinar to Provide Overview of Bead-Based Multiplexing Technology for Research Use with Mouse Samples
YORBA LINDA, Calif. (PRWEB) December 04, 2018 -- The mouse is a critical, increasingly used model system in biomedical research and preclinical drug discovery. While technological advances enable complex genetic manipulations that result in increased translational relevance, one distinct limitation remains - sample volume.
Moreover, preclinical research increasingly demands measurement of multiple biomarkers (cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors) to characterize signaling pathways accurately or to analyze the effects of an intervention. Unfortunately, researchers are often forced to design experiments around sample limitations.
The Bio-Plex® Multiplex System, powered by Luminex xMAP Technology, enables the quantification of more than 500 different protein or peptide targets simultaneously from a single sample volume. More specifically, the combination of Bio-Plex Pro™ Mouse Cytokine, Chemokine, and Growth Factor Magnetic Bead-Based Assays detects and measures levels of many analytes in diverse matrices such as serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants in single well formats.
The speaker for this event is Dr. Daniel Braunschweig, PhD, Proteomics Field Application Scientist Leader for Bio-Rad Laboratories. He has held a variety of positions in the Biotechnology field and leads a team of Field Application Scientists focused on assisting researchers with protein identification and immunoassays.
Dr. Braunschweig will discuss the features of xMAP-based multiplexing versus other options for quantitation as it relates to reduced sample volume usage, global profiling and pathway analysis, increased throughput capabilities coupled with reduced cost and time input and enhanced dynamic range in contrast to ELISA.
LabRoots will host this webinar on December 5, 2018, at 9am PST. To learn more about this event, the continuing education credits offered, or to register for free, click here.
