MagPlex® Microspheres Contact Sales Contact SupportMagnetic microspheres offering improved washing efficiency and the ability to measure up to 500 targets simultaneouslyMagPlex® MicrospheresSimilar to MicroPlex® Microspheres, MagPlex® Microspheres are carboxylated polystyrene microparticles, or “beads,” that have been dyed into spectrally distinct sets, or “regions,” allowing them to be individually identified by an xMAP® instrument. These uniquely coded beads provide a user an addressable substrate on which to perform multiple bio-analytical reactions in a single well.There are several advantages to MagPlex Microspheres over traditional MicroPlex Microspheres.MagPlex Microspheres are magnetic, and with the use of a magnetic separator, they can be separated from solution quickly and easily. This improves percent recovery during handling and wash steps and facilitates assay automation.Additionally, MagPlex Microspheres are available in 500 unique regions, enabling the development of assays which can measure up to 500 different analytes in the same well.These beads are universally compatible with all xMAP Instruments. MagPlex Microspheres open the door to Luminex’s MAGPIX® instrument, which was designed as a simple and easy to use instrument with a smaller foot print.All microspheres are general use components for further manufacture of xMAP bioassays.MagPlex Microspheres are available at a concentration of 2.5 million and 12.5 million beads/mL and can be ordered in one mL and four mL vial sizes. MagPlex Microspheres are also offered in a variety of custom volumes. Please see the MagPlex Custom Volume Ordering Guidelines or contact Luminex to inquire about custom volume options.IMPORTANT: MagPlex microspheres require the use of xPONENT® software.FeaturesBenefitsSurface carboxyl groupsSuperparamagnetic500 Regions availableCompatible with all xMAP InstrumentsMultiple vial sizes availableMultiple concentrations availableSame reliable coupling chemistry as MicroPlex5X Increased multiplex capabilityImproved washing efficiencyIdeal for automated applicationsNo need for expensive filter platesAvailable in low concentration, for small scale and assay development applicationsInstruments compatible with these microspheresLuminex 100/200MAGPIXFLEXMAP 3DOrdering InformationIf you have any questions or require further assistance placing your order, please contact our Order Management Team.Email:[email protected] Phone:1-512-336-3550Toll Free:1-866-401-5450Fax:1-512-219-0544Fax (Europe, Middle East, India, Asia):+31 (0)73 800 1998Reagent Shipping PolicyAll MagPlex Microsphere orders, one and four mL volumes, ship within three business days of order receipt. However, backordered items may have longer than normal lead times. MagPlex Microspheres have a maximum shelf life of five years from the date of manufacture and all MagPlex Microspheres are guaranteed to have a minimum remaining shelf life from the date they ship. Group A and B regions have a minimum shelf life of six months from the date of shipment and Group C regions have a minimum shelf life of three months from the ship date. Please see product part numbers below before placing your order, to see which regions are compatible with your instrument.Part NumbersTo ensure maximum compatibility and availability, new assay developers should always begin with the Group A regions, moving into Group B then Group C regions only when necessary for higher-plex assays.NOTE: Group C regions are only available in one mL vial sizes. NOTE: Group C regions <100 have MC12XXX catalog numbers. NOTE: [XXX] = region # >100Vial Sizes:[-YY] = [-01] for one mL; [-04] for four mL; or [-ID] for one mL Low Concentration Please contact Luminex to inquire about custom vial sizes.MagPlex Microsphere Part NumbersRegionPart NumberInstrument CompatibilityRegion Group1MC12001-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C2MC12002-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C3MC12003-01 FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C4MC12004-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C5MC12005-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C6MC12006-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C7MC10007-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B8MC10008-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B9MC10009-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B10MC12010-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C11MC12011-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C12MC10012-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A13MC10013-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A14MC10014-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A15MC10015-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A16MC12016-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C17MC12017-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C18MC10018-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A 19MC10019-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A20MC10020-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A21MC10021-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A22MC10022-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A23MC12023-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C24MC12024-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C25MC10025-YY (Available in Low Concentration)All xMAP InstrumentsGroup A26MC10026-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A27MC10027-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A28MC10028-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A29MC10029-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A30MC10030-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A31MC12031-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C32MC12032-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C33MC10033-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A34 MC10034-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A35MC10035-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A36MC10036-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A37MC10037-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A38MC10038-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A39MC10039-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A40MC12040-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C41MC12041-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C42MC10042-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A43MC10043-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A44MC10044-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A45MC10045-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A46MC10046-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A47MC10047-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A48MC10048-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A49MC10049-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B50 MC12050-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C51MC10051-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A52MC10052-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A53MC10053-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A54MC10054-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A55MC10055-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A56MC10056-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A57MC10057-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A58MC10058-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B59MC10059-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B60MC12060-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C61MC10061-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A62MC10062-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A63MC10063-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A64MC10064-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A65MC10065-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A66 MC10066-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A67MC10067-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A68MC10068-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B69MC10069-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B70MC10070-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B71MC12071-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C72MC10072-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A73MC10073-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A74MC10074-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A75MC10075-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A76MC10076-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A77MC10077-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A78MC10078-YYAll xMAP InstrumentsGroup A79MC10079-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B80MC10080-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B81MC10081-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B 82MC10082-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B83MC10083-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B84MC10084-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B85MC10085-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B86MC10086-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B87MC10087-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B88MC10088-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B89MC10089-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B90MC10090-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B91MC10091-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B92MC12092-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C93MC10093-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B94MC10094-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B95MC10095-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B96MC10096-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B97MC10097-YY Luminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B98MC10098-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B99MC10099-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B100MC10100-YYLuminex 100/200 and FLEXMAP 3DGroup B101+MC10XXX-01FLEXMAP 3D OnlyGroup C
