Afro-BiomeDX offers numerous diagnostic multiplex tests, some of which are developed within Afro-BiomeDX laboratories as well as those from our esteemed partners such as Innovative Biotech.
Our multiplex bead assays are similar to ELISA, but provides much more practicality than other platforms such as ELISA-based and others currently on market.
Our value proposition is inherently based on our bead-assay based technology. The Luminex multiplex bead-based assays have a number of significant advantages compared with traditional ELISA technology, including but not limited to:-
Luminex systems allow testing of up to 500 analytes in a single sample. In the same time it takes to set up one ELISA, multiple analytes can be measured, significantly reducing labor cost.
Depending on the expression levels, assays require 50 µL of sample or less for multiplex assays, while still obtaining accurate results for all analytes.
Multiplex bead-based assay provides the ability to reliably detect proteins across a broad concentration range.
The Luminex system automatically reads up to 96 samples from a conventional microtiter plate. Combined with the ability to read up to 500 analytes per sample, this provides a high-throughput path to data collection.
Luminex multiplex runs on xMAP machine which is a user-friendly and displays results in excel format for the operator to read analyze. It’s laser-based analysis gives an additional advantage of violet laser (405nm) which excites a second molecule bound to the surface enabling a dual reporting, thus empowering user to acquire data for two parameters per data set.
