Millipore - Luminex® xMAP®

Your source for Luminex® xMAP® Technology

As a Luminex partner, Millipore is a distributor of Luminex instruments, accessories and software. In fact, Millipore is the only partner to offer Luminex xPONENT® software integrated with a user-friendly, advanced data analysis package, MILLIPLEX Analyst, to help you manage, analyze, and report all your multiplex assays. We were there at the beginning to help validate Luminex xMAP technology as the standard of multiplexing, and our ongoing dedication and experience in this technology enable you to gain more information faster, without compromising reliability.

The new MAGPIX instrument offers your lab the benefits of multiplexing at a more compact size and price.

xMAP® Technology

Luminex's xMAP technology is built on proven, existing technology - flow cytometry, microspheres, lasers, digital signal processing and traditional chemistry - that have been combined in a unique way. Featuring a flexible, open-architecture design, xMAP technology can be configured to perform a wide variety of bioassays quickly, cost-effectively and accurately.

xMAP Technology Features

First, Luminex color-codes tiny beads, called microspheres, into 100 distinct sets. Each bead set is coated with a reagent specific to a particular bioassay, allowing the capture and detection of specific analytes from a sample. Within the Luminex compact analyzer, lasers excite the internal dyes that identify each microsphere particle, and also any reporter dye captured during the assay. Many readings are made on each bead set, further validating the results. In this way, xMAP technology allows multiplexing of up to 100 unique assays within a single sample, both rapidly and precisely. This bead based technology uses liquid reaction kinetics gives faster, more reproducible results than with solid, planar arrays.
