FAQ's of BioRad Bio-Plex 200 System:
Q: How does the BioRad Bio-Plex 200 System benefit multiplex protein quantitation?
A: The Bio-Plex 200 System allows up to 100 analytes to be quantified simultaneously from a single sample well, optimizing time, reducing sample consumption, and increasing data output, making it highly suitable for complex studies such as biomarker discovery.
Q: What types of samples and plates are compatible with this system?
A: This system is compatible with 96-well and 384-well microplates, and it requires a small sample volume of 12.5-50 L per well, accommodating a wide range of research sample types for protein analysis.
Q: When is it appropriate to use the Bio-Plex 200 System in research?
A: The Bio-Plex 200 is ideal for research applications that require high-throughput, quantitative multiplex analysis, such as profiling cytokine levels, studying disease biomarkers, and conducting large-scale protein screening experiments.
Q: Where is the Bio-Plex 200 System typically used?
A: This system is designed for placement on a laboratory benchtop in research environments such as academic, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical labs across India and worldwide. It is not intended for diagnostic procedures.
Q: What process does the instrument use to detect analytes?
A: The Bio-Plex 200 uses a multiplexed bead-based immunoassay (xMAP technology) combined with fluorescence-based detection. A flow-based sensor reads the specific fluorescence emitted from each bead, enabling precise quantification of multiple analytes in parallel.
Q: How is data managed and transferred from the Bio-Plex 200 System?
A: With included Bio-Plex Manager software, the system offers secure internal memory for protocols and results, and supports data transfer via USB, Ethernet, and other cable options, ensuring smooth integration with PCs and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).
