MagPlex^® Monitoring Microspheres

Monitor assay and instrument performance

MagPlex^® Monitoring Microspheres are magnetic polystyrene beads that provide insight into factors impacting target median fluorescent intensity (MFI) values, including instrument fluctuations and user error.

Features

Magnetic Microspheres. MagPlex^® Monitoring Microspheres are magnetic polystyrene microparticles that have been color coded to classify to a specific region.
Additional reporter dye. In addition to the classification dyes, MagPlex^® Monitoring Microsphere contain an internal reporter dye that generates reporter median fluorescent intensity (MFI) values specific to instrument type and reporter modes.
Microsphere interrogation. The MagPlex^® Monitoring Microsphere is excited by the optical system of the xMAP^® Instrument, and resulting MFIs can be analyzed for indications of performance errors.

Benefits

Increased confidence in your results: Monitor well-to-well assay performance for errors, ensuring each individual well has not been impacted by external factors.
Broad application areas: These microspheres can be incorporated into various assay formats, including proteomic and genomic applications.
The ability to pinpoint errors quickly: MFI values generated using these microspheres can eliminate instrument and user errors as a source of unexpected results.

Workflow

MagPlex^® Monitoring Microspheres can be incorporated into new or existing assays.

Incorporate MagPlex^® Monitoring Microspheres into bead mix

After assay validation, incorporate MagPlex^® Monitor beads into the assay bead mix.
Perform assay steps as normal.

Analyze samples

Analyze each sample well, containing both the assay and monitoring beads, on an xMAP^® instrument.

Review results

Compare results to validated assay thresholds to verify there were no user errors or instrument malfunctions.
