These microspheres are specially formulated to reduce non-specific binding during serological-based assays. They are general use components for further manufacture of xMAP bioassays. They are internally labeled with fluorescent dyes and contain a surface layer of Carboxyl groups for covalent attachment of ligands (or biomolecules).

There are 100 distinct sets of these 5.6 micron, polystyrene SeroMAP Microspheres which support many different custom applications, including cytokines, immunoglobulins, SNPs, viral loads, and others. Each bead set can be coated with a reagent specific to a particular bioassay, allowing the capture and detection of specific analytes from a sample. Within the Luminex compact analyzer, lasers excite the internal dyes that identify each microsphere particle, and also any reporter dye captured during the assay. Many readings are made on each bead set, further validating the results. In this way, the xMAP technology allows multiplexing of up to 100 unique assays within a single sample, both rapidly and precisely.
