Clinical Technoshot: Multiplexed Analysis of Soluble Factors in Cancer

As we are walking along the post-genome sequencing, there is an urgency for high- and medium- throughput approaches to address functions and create network analysis as mean to discover new and personalized therapeutic targets. The Luminex® xMAP™ system is a multiplexed microsphere-based suspension array platform capable of analyzing and reporting up to 100 different reactions in a single well. The rapid, sensitive, cost-effective, high-throughput and simultaneous detection of soluble factors give the opportunity to interrogate the complexity of the tumor microenvironment in a bench-size assay.
