Is possible LUMINEX200 (millipore) with BIO-RAD panel?

06 March 2024 1 9K Report

Hi all, I used Merk panels for luminex200 analysis on CSF, but of the same analytes I now don't have the corresponding validated panels on serum. Therefore I was wondering if possible to redo the same measurements using the luminex200 (millipore) with bio rad panels (or similar, proposals welcome)

John Carter

Yes. However, those commercial panel products are independently validated. So your results should be qualitatively good, but you will require new calibration curves for quantitative analysis.
