Do you offer a Mac-compatible version of the ProcartaPlex Analyst Software?
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a Mac-compatible version of the ProcartaPlex Analyst Software. ProcartaPlex Analyst Software is compatible with PC, or xPONENT Software is available on Luminex instruments to analyze your data.

Do you offer FlowCytomix assays?
Sorry, the FlowCytomix product line has been discontinued. However, we offer a new antibody and magnetic bead-based detection system, i.e., ProcartaPlex assays for multiplex protein quantitation using the Luminex instrument platform.

How long does it take to acquire ProcartaPlex assay data on the different Luminex instruments?
With everything working smoothly, here is the approximate read time for one plate on different Luminex instruments:
- FLEXMAP 3D Systems and INTELLIFLEX Systems will read 96 well plates in ~20 min, and 384 well plates in ~75 min.
- Luminex 100/200 Systems will read 96 well plates in ~40 min.
- MAGPIX System will read 96 well plates in ~50-60 min. Please note that these are estimates for the read times of the plates only, and do not include time for calibration or set-up of the instrument.

Is the sensitivity value for a Multiplex ProcartaPlex assay different when compared to the sensitivity for those same analytes assayed as Simplex assays?
In general, sensitivity between Simplex and Multiplex ProcartaPlex assay kits is comparable.

Why does the ProcartaPlex ULOQ (Upper Limit of Quantitation) and LLOQ (Lower Limit of Quantitation) change between different lots of standards?
We supply the standard protein in a lyophilized form. Lyophilization is a dehydration process that preserves the perishable standard. We have demonstrated that often, the amount of starting protein prior to lyophilization and that of the final product after lyophilization varies (this could be different from analyte to analyte). To ensure that we deliver the most quantitative and reproducible product, we always calibrate the standard after lyophilization and therefore, the concentration range can vary from lot to lot of the standard.
