Features and Benefits

Design your multiplex kit by choosing available analytes within this panel.

General description

Circulating cancer biomarkers give insight beyond intracellular oncogenesis and into how the body responds to the presence of a tumor, the dysregulation of homeostasis, and the relationship between a tumor and its environment. Multianalyte panels have become essential tools that enable researchers to measure cancer biomarkers simultaneously, teasing out these relationships and applying them to understand tumor biology. MILLIPLEX^® Human Circulating Biomarker Panel 3 is an 8-plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification or any or all of the following analytes in serum, plasma and tissue/cell lysate and culture supernatant samples: Galectin-3, Cathepsin D, Fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP), Melanoma inhibitory activity protein (MIA), Myeloperoxidase, Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), Insulin like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), and Ferritin. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate. The Luminex^® xMAP^® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.
