Multiplex Cytokine
Assays with
Luminex
Cytokine levels can provide important insight into immunological events occurring within a sample. At Precision, we utilize several technologies for cytokine analysis, including the Luminex platform for multiplex cytokine assays. Our standard assays are designed to measure cytokines and chemokines released from chosen target cells, and we specialize in activated T-cell based assays requiring same day treatment and processing. All of our assays can be customized to detect specific groups of cytokines.

Advantages of Luminex assays
The Luminex platform uses fluorescently-labeled beads bound to capture antibodies to quantitatively detect a specific cytokine or other analyte of interest.
- Multiplex up to 50 analytes
- Wide dynamic range
- High sensitivity
- Low sample input
- Limited matrix interference
- Rapid analysis (a single 96-well-plate run can be completed in just 60 minutes)
- Commercially available panels and custom panels
- An ideal choice for research and exploratory purposes
Our Luminex capabilities
- Assay development or transfer, validation, and implementation
- Pre-built or custom Luminex assays
- Integration with Precision’s other bioanalytical and specialty assays and technlogies
Integrating biomarker and clinical trial data
To help researchers understand and interpret biomarker assay data in the context of other assays as well as the clinical trial data, Precision manages all assay data using our proprietary QuartzBio Translational Informatics platform.
