Overview
The Procarta® Immunoassays use the xMAP® technology (multi-analyte profiling beads) to enable the detection and quantitation of multiple protein targets simultaneously in diverse matrices. The xMAP system combines a flow cytometer, fluorescent-dyed microspheres (beads), lasers and digital signal processing to effectively allow multiplexing of up to 100 unique assays within a single sample. The Procarta assay kits are compatible with all Luminex and Luminex-based instruments currently available.
We have over 260 unique assays for cytokines, chemokines, Growth Factors, and MMPs available for human, mouse, rat, porcine and non-human primate samples that can facilitate your research projects involving intra- and extracellular protein analysis and quantitation.
We provide standard kits, as well as custom-blended kits, with all of our assays optimized for your specific sample matrix and species to provide you the most accurate data. By using our Assay Services, you can rest assure that your samples are processed by an experienced and qualified scientist and a consultation can help you develop a solid plan and foundation for your research objectives.
