Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. have announced the launch of the Bio-Plex Pro™ Mouse Chemokine Panel, the newest member of its line of magnetic bead–based multiplex immunoassays. The panel enables detection of more samples than any other available assay, allowing researchers to get more data out of each run.

“The most important feature that researchers look for in a chemokine assay kit is the number of samples that can be detected within the assay range, what we call sample detectability,” said Ivan Huang, Bio-Rad Product Manager, Protein Quantitation. “The Bio-Plex Pro Mouse Chemokine Panel offers the industry’s highest sample detectability, producing clear and actionable results.”

Traditional research tools and assays allow scientists to investigate one protein at a time, but the Bio-Plex Pro Mouse Chemokine Panel offers researchers the ability to map out entire networks of protein biomarkers — up to 33 biologically relevant mouse chemokines and cytokines — in a single run from small amounts of sample. For biopharma and researchers using mouse models to study disease and response to treatment, the panel facilitates high throughput and a highly sensitive study of a variety of biomarkers as well as their roles in diverse biological processes across many areas including oncology, immunology, autoimmunity, and infectious diseases.

Benefits of the Bio-Plex Pro Mouse Chemokine Panel include:

  • Increased sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio — delivers improved sample detectability using reagents that are optimized to provide a broad dynamic range
  • Premixed, ready-to-use reagents — streamlines workflow with premixed reagents and a simplified protocol
  • Broad panel coverage — detects a broad number of biologically relevant targets in a single well

The Bio-Plex Pro Mouse Chemokine Panel is a ready-to-use, 1 x 96-well kit containing premixed magnetic capture beads and detection antibodies, standards, and buffers. The panel is compatible with the Bio-Plex® 200, Bio-Plex 3D, and the Bio-Plex® MAGPIX™ platforms.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates. Find the best protein purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Animal ModelsThe use of non-human animals in experiments or behavorial observations. The research is conducted inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defence establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. It includes pure research such as genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies, as well as applied research such as pharmaceutical testing in pre-clinical, before human, studies. Protein QuantificationThe detection and quantification of proteins in a sample is vital across life sciences, pharmaceutical research and clinical diagnostics, and a variety of equipment is available to scientists to simplify the workflow. Proteins of interest can be easily labeled and detected on light-based detection instruments. Immunoassay kits allow you to identify a specific protein of interest and protein detection beads or antibody microarrays allow you to identify multiple specific proteins at once. Protein interactions and enzyme activity can also be monitored with protein-protein interaction assays. Additionally, the biophysical characterization of proteins is made easy with biokinetic analyzers.

They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to compare immunoassay systems, read user reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.CytokinesCytokines are signaling proteins critical for cell communication in the immune system. They regulate inflammation, immune responses, and cell growth. Cytokine research is vital for understanding disease mechanisms and developing therapies.
