Luminex® HP Assays 101 – Sensitivity Matters
Sensitivity is critical for immunoassays so that analytes present at low levels can be accurately measured. Without proper sensitivity, low abundance analytes can be missed completely even if they are present in a sample. Additionally, it can be difficult to compare healthy vs. disease samples since analytes that are overexpressed in disease states are often present at very low levels in healthy individuals. Our Luminex High Performance Assays provide superior sensitivity, and here's how:
Proven Assay Development Expertise
R&D Systems has over 25 years of experience designing, testing, and optimizing immunoassays to ensure the highest level of performance in analyte quantification. Luminex High Performance assays are driven by the same expertise and rigorous quality control that have made our Quantikine® ELISA kits the industry gold standard.
Extensive In-house, Non-catalog Antibody Collection
We have thousands of antibodies, including non-catalog, at our disposal. This allows us to quickly screen many antibody pairs to find the optimal pair that provides superior sensitivity.
