Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Traditional methods like ELISA and PCR have limitations in quantifying soluble analytes, such as single-analyte detection or inability to detect native proteins.
  • Particle-based flow cytometry presents a promising alternative for overcoming these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development and application of particle-based flow cytometric assays.
  • To highlight the advantages of this technology over existing methods for analyte quantification.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes microspheres as solid supports for immunoassays, affinity assays, or DNA hybridization assays.
  • Employs the Luminex FlowMetrix system with distinct fluorescently encoded bead sets for multiplexed analysis.
  • Analyzes assays on a flow cytometer, detecting analytes using fluorescent reporter dyes.
