LUMINEX platform

DISCOVER MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES

Since the signing of a partnership with LUMINEX, RD-Biotech offers the assay of biomarkers using Luminex® technology.

The immunoassays based on Luminex xMAP® technology (multi-analyte profiling) allow the simultaneous detection and quantification of several secreted proteins (cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, etc.) using the Luminex 200 reader.

This high throughput technology provides results comparable to ELISA but with greater efficiency, speed and dynamic range. In addition, multiplexing is less expensive per target result.

In vitro tests and bioassays

  • Preparation and development of in vitro tests:
    • Study of reporter gene expression
    • Study of cell proliferation in response to growth factors, cytokines or mitogens,
    • Immunology tests (ELISA, ELISpot), …
  • Preparation and development of bioassays to study the biological activity of your biologicals (antibodies, cytokines, active ingredients, etc.): MAT, proliferation, apoptosis, phagocytosis, cell death, dosage of different interleukins, ADCC, CDC …

Quality controls

Wide choice of tests based on our expertise in immunology and molecular biology:

Search for contaminants and microbiological tests:

  • Detection of mycoplasmas by PCR (from cell pellets or culture supernatants)
  • Detection of bacterial endotoxins (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate test)
  • Detection of residual HCPs (Host Cell Proteins)
DISCOVER FASTELISA
  • Determination of residual DNA
  • Bacterial and fungal contamination test
  • Bioburden

Biological activity:

  • Cell bases assays
  • Immuno-test
  • Enzymatic activity
  • Binding test
