Luminex lx200

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Luminex™ (LX200) is a multi-analyte detection system designed for high-throughput quantitative analysis. It utilizes bead-based technology to simultaneously detect and quantify multiple analytes in a single sample. The core function of the Luminex™ (LX200) is to provide a platform for rapid and accurate measurement of various biomolecules, such as proteins, antibodies, and nucleic acids.

Antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia is a proxy indicator of D2 receptor occupancy manifesting when D2 receptor occupancy is greater than 72% (96 (link)). Serum prolactin was assessed as a surrogate for central nervous system D2 receptor binding affinity for haloperidol and clozapine. Prolactin levels were determined from serum samples using the MILLIPLEX MAP Human Circulating Cancer Biomarker Magnetic Bead Panel 1 (EMD Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA; Cat# HCCBP1MAG58K) containing prolactin coupled with the Luminex LX200 (EMD Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) platform in a magnetic bead format according to manufacturer’s instructions. All serum samples were assayed in duplicate, and a pooled serum sample was included as a positive control. Concentrations are expressed as ng/ml. Data were analyzed using xPONENT v.3.1 software (EMD Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). The minimum detectable concentration for prolactin was 30.2 pg/ml. The coefficient of determination for prolactin was 0.9999. The intra-assay precision was 4.9–15% and the inter-assay precision 4.1–16.2%. Intra-assay precision is generated from the mean of the %CV’s from 16 reportable results across two different concentrations of analytes in a single assay. Inter-assay precision is generated from the mean of the %CV’s across two different concentrations of analytes across 10 different assays.

Conditioned culture media were collected at day 3 post TNF-treatment, centrifuged for 10 min at 4 °C to remove cell debris and stored at −80 °C until use. Measurement of released cytokines and chemokines including CCL2(also known as MCP1), CCL3(MIP1α), CCL4(MIP1β), CCL5(RANTES), CCL7(MCP3), CXCL1,2,3(GRO), CXCL8(IL8), CXCL10(IP10), CXCL12(SDF1α+β), CSF2(GMCSF), CSF3(GCSF), FGF2, IL1RN(IL1ra), IL1B(IL1β), IL6, LIF were by MILLIPLEX® Multiplex Assays with Luminex LX200 instrument (Millipore) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Analysis was performed using MILLIPLEX® Analyst Software Version 3.4 (Millipore).

Serum Dp- and Df-specific IgE levels were measured by fluorescent enzyme immunoassay using the ImmunoCAP® system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Uppsala, Sweden). IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, and IFN-γ levels were measured in serum using a Human High Sensitivity T-Cell Magnetic Bead Panel kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and Luminex LX200 (Millipore). Urinary LTE4 and PGF levels were measured using a commercial ELISA kit (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and expressed as ng/mmol creatinine. Creatinine level was measured using a CREJ2 kit with Cobas 8000 (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
