What Is a Multiplex Assay?
A multiplex assay is an assay that combines tests for various analytes in a single panel. These assays have gained popularity for their advantages of saving sample volume and time by improving workflows when compared to assays that measure a single analyte, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs).
What Are MILLIPLEX® Multiplex Assays and How Do They Work?
MILLIPLEX® multiplex assays use the proprietary Luminex® xMAP® bead-based multiplex assay platform. This is how these multiplex assays work:
- Each magnetic MagPlex® microsphere bead is fluorescently coded with one of 500 specific ratios of two fluorophores (each spectrally distinct set is known as a bead region, fluorescent at ex 635 nm).
- Analyte-specific capture antibodies are bound to beads of a specific region, then unbound sites of the bead are blocked.
- Beads are incubated with sample, washed, and then incubated with a biotinylated secondary antibody.
- The unbound secondary antibody is washed away and the added streptavidin-phycoerythrin binds to the biotin of the “sandwich” immunoassay.
- The Luminex® instrument detects individual beads by region plus the streptavidin-conjugated R-Phycoerythrin (SAPE) signal, ex 525 nm, indicating the analyte is present.
Figure 1 shows a general illustration of how these assays work.

How Do The Luminex® Detection Systems Work?
There are different detection systems for Luminex® multiplexing platforms, including the xMAP® INTELLIFLEX, Luminex® 200™, and FLEXMAP 3D® instruments. These Luminex® instruments use a flow cytometry-based system where beads flow in sheath fluid through a cell with a red laser (635 nm) identifying the bead region and a green laser (525 nm) quantifying the bound analyte “sandwich”. The instruments integrate key xMAP® detection components, such as lasers, optics, advanced fluidics, and high-speed digital signal processors.
Each individual microsphere is identified by its “bead signature,” (or bead region) and the result of its bioassay is quantified based on fluorescent reporter signals. We combine the power of Luminex® acquisition software with sophisticated analysis capabilities of Belysa® Immunoassay Curve Fitting software, integrating data acquisition and analysis seamlessly on all Luminex® instruments. Use of Belysa® Immunoassay Curve Fitting software affords the user advanced features not available within most data acquisition packages: auto-curve fitting functions, data hygiene rules, easy data visualization and standard curve comparison tools, with all data exportable in a variety of file formats.
The capability of adding multiplexed conjugated beads to each sample allows multiple assay results from each sample. Open architecture xMAP® technology enables the multiplexing of many types of bioassays, reducing time, labor, and costs over traditional methods.

Quality in Every Kit
Most of all, the quality makes MILLIPLEX® assays stand out. From kit development and verification to manufacturing and quality control, researchers can rely on the quality we build into each kit to produce consistent, reliable results. In addition to the assay specifications listed in the protocol, we evaluate other performance criteria during our kit development and verification process: cross-reactivity, dilutional linearity, kit stability, and sample behavior (e.g., detectability and stability). We write the protocol with assay performance and your workflow in mind, making it easy to find the information you need. Learn more about the quality built into these kits in our Quality in MILLIPLEX® Multiplex Kits article.
