Bio-Plex Manager Software is a powerful, intuitive tool used to generate and analyze xMap data. In this webinar you will:

• Learn how to create an assay protocol
• Learn how to acquire data
• Understand basic software parameters
• Learn about general functionality and navigation
• Master optimization of standard curves and export data for further analysis

Since the first cytokine was identified over 60 years ago, a lot has been done to better understand these molecules. The use of multiplex immunoassays is one such way, though they aren’t considered quite as mainstream yet. Learn about how the SMARTS approach can be used to better align user experience to the performance characteristics of these multiplex assays and hopefully transition them to a more mainstream role in research.

Multiplex immunoassays are an extremely powerful tool for protein detection and quantitation. In this webinar, get a general overview of multiplex immunoassay technology and tips on setting up experiments to optimize your results.

Apolipoproteins bind to lipids to form lipoproteins, which transport lipids throughout the lymphatic and circulatory systems. In addition to cardiovascular disease, apolipoproteins are now being linked to other diseases such as cancer, autoimmunity, and neurodegeneration. Learn more about the different types of apolipoproteins and see how they serve as biomarkers for these diseases.

Biomarker screening can sometimes be like working in a black box. While traditional research tools focus on one protein at a time, Bio-Rad’s new Bio-Plex Pro™ Mouse Chemokine Panel can simultaneously interrogate 33 chemokines and cytokines in a single well. See how you can get more answers with this panel.

See how one study used Bio-Rad’s Bio-Plex Pro Human Cytokine 27-Plex Assay to investigate immune responses to an anti-viral compound in an effort to better understand vaccine efficacy.

Follow the five tips in this article before embarking on your multiplex immunoassay journey to generate accurate, efficient, and biologically relevant results. From help designing experiments to acquiring accurate data, this article has it all.

Multiplex immunoassay development requires a lot of validation and standardization steps. Several factors can influence the performance of these assays. Some factors that need to be considered are mentioned here.

How can we easily identify biomarkers for different immune cell types? This color-coded poster makes identification of mouse lineage biomarkers easy.

Bio-Rad’s Bio-Plex Pro Human Inflammation Assay measures 37 of the most relevant inflammation biomarkers, including TNF superfamily proteins, Treg cytokines, IFN proteins, and matrix metalloproteinases, in a single multiplex panel.Check out the performance characteristics of the assay panel in this report.
