Technical Report

MultiBead Assay Technology
Technical Note by Assay Designs

The MultiBead assay technology relies on the ability of flow cytometers to separate beads covalently coupled to antibodies based on their size and fluorescence intensity. MultiBead assays can simultaneously quantify up to 36 analytes in a single well by utilizing multiple bead sizes each with different fluorescence intensities. Each bead size is sub-fractioned into different populations based on their inherent fluorescence intensity by a 670 nm filter, while the analytes of interest are simultaneously quantified by a 576 nm filter which measures fluorescence associated with the PE conjugated detection antibody or analyte.
