Founded in 1995, Luminex is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and listed on NASDAQ in the United States in 2000. It specializes in the development and production of high-tech analytical instruments for life science and clinical applications. A company in the field of diagnosis.

Luminex has two core technologies, xMAP® (for protein) and xTAG® (for nucleic acid/gene) liquid suspension technology. As a next-generation multi-detection technology platform, Luminex xMAP® and xTAG® technologies offer many advantages such as fast detection, high accuracy, easy operation, powerful functions, and low cost. In microbiological testing, clinical diagnosis, health checkup, biopharmaceuticals And biomedical research and other fields have been widely used, representing the development direction of life science basic research and medical diagnostic technology.

Luminex's representative Luminex® 100/200 and the new FLEXMAP 3D multifunction dot matrix are based on xMAP technology, incorporating fluorescent coded microspheres, laser detection, applied fluidics, the latest high-speed digital signals and computer operations. A number of technologies, such as the law, have truly achieved "high-throughput" testing and won the "2005 International Clinical Diagnostic Technology Innovation Award." It is the only high-throughput diagnostic technology approved by the US FDA and the only one incorporated into the US clinical laboratory quality control network. One of the trending techniques evaluated by international industry experts for clinical diagnosis.

xMAP technology principle

Luminex technology applies the principles of microspheres and flow cytometry. The inside of the microsphere contains two different colors of immunofluorescence, and up to 100 different microspheres can be distinguished by different ratios of fluorescence. Each microsphere can be used to detect a different protein or gene. Therefore, up to 100 proteins can be detected simultaneously using microsphere technology. The technique utilizes a fluorescently encoded microsphere to covalently crosslink a monoclonal antibody, binds to the target molecule to be assayed, adds a fluorescein-labeled detection antibody, and then laser-scans the fluorescent code to identify individual microspheres and measure "detection fluorescence". The intensity determines the concentration of the molecule being tested.

MAGPIX  main technical features:
