Moving xMAP Technology Forward: Advanced Analysis; New Targets and High Sensitivity Precision Pro Assays

Event Recorded on:
Friday, 30 March 2007, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (GMT -07:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana

Abstract
Increasing interest in xMAP technology, as an alternative to ELISA and Western blot approaches, has fostered the demand for new assays that are suitable for a broad range of research applications. This need is not simply limited to new targets. As xMAP technology is more widely adopted, there is an added requirement for assays with higher performance and automation capability. This presentation will discuss the use of the Bio-Plex® Suspension Array System, an integrated, open platform for xMAP technology. An overview of the system, its unique set of software tools for instrument control, analysis and validation, as well as assay options will be discussed. A focus will be given to the applications of xMAP technology, and data generated using this system. In addition, results utilizing a specialized panel designed to address the xMAP user's needs for higher sensitivity and precision when measuring cytokine levels will be presented.
