 xMAP Technology Overview
Bead-based Multiplexing of Up to 500 Bioassays per Well
Open-architecture xMAP Technology enables multiplexing of biological tests
(assays), reducing time, labor, and costs over traditional methods. Systems
using xMAP Technology perform discrete assays on the surface of color-coded
beads known as microspheres, which are then read in a compact analyzer. Using
multiple lasers or LED and high-speed digital-signal processors, the analyzer reads
multiplex assay results by reporting the reactions occurring on each individual
microsphere particle.
xMAP Technology Advantages and Benefits
Speed/High-Throughput - Because each microsphere serves as an individual
test, a large number of different assays can be performed and analyzed
simultaneously
Versatility - A single xMAP Technology-based system can perform assays using
several different methods and chemistries, including nucleic acid hybridization,
antigen-antibody binding, enzyme reactivity, receptor-ligand binding and other
protein interactions
Accuracy - xMAP Technology generates a real-time assessment and accurate
quantification of the biological interactions being tested
Flexibility - xMAP Technology can be used in a variety of applications ranging
from life science research to clinical diagnostics, food safety and bio-defense
Reproducibility - High-volume production of xMAP microspheres within a single
lot allows reduced variability that solid-phased flat arrays cannot provide
4
How xMAP Technology Works
First, Luminex uses proprietary techniques
to internally color code microspheres with
various fluorescent dyes. Through precise
concentrations of these dyes, up to 500
distinctly colored bead sets can be created,
each of which can be coupled to a target-
specific molecule. These target-specific
molecules may be antigens, antibodies,
oligonucleotides, enzyme substrates, or
receptors. After an analyte from a test sample
is captured by this target-specific molecule,
a reporter molecule, labeled with a different
fluorescent dye, is introduced to complete the
reaction on the surface of each microsphere.
Next, the microspheres internal dyes are
excited by the laser or LED, identifying the
microsphere set. A second laser or LED excites
the fluorescent dye on the reporter molecule.
Using these signals, highspeed digital-signal
processors identify each individual microsphere
and quantify the amount of target molecule
bound to its surface.

Luminex 100/200 Reagents
The Luminex 100 and Luminex 200
instruments require sheath fluid to serve as
the delivery medium to transport the beads
to the instruments optics. Both instruments
have the option of a 20L disposable external
sheath fluid container or a compact 20X
sheath fluid concentrate pack; which can
be reconstituted, with water, to a working
volume of 20L when needed. The Luminex
100/200 instruments, operating on
xPONENT software, are calibrated using
a calibration and a verification kit, each
providing 25 uses. Luminex systems running
on the older IS 2.3 software require the
purchase of individual vials of calibration and
control microspheres.

Magnetic Plate Separator
The Luminex Magnetic Plate Separator
is a modified plate magnet intended to
separate a 96-well plate of MagPlex
Microspheres during assay preparation
steps. The side clasps on this magnet
have been specially designed to hold
a round-bottom plate securely to the
magnet, enabling the user to quickly invert and decant it over a waste
container. Similar to the method used in an ELISA, this manual plate
washing method has been shown to effectively remove nearly all of the
supernatant from every well on the plate, with virtually no bead carry-over.
Magnetic Tube Separator
The Luminex 1.5mL Tube Magnetic
Separator is intended for a single
reaction tube. Typically used in bead
coupling reactions, this magnet
can quickly separate 1mL MagPlex
Microspheres from solution and is a
handy addition to any xMAP bench top.

 Breakthrough Solutions to Improve Health and Advance Science
Luminex Corporation (NASDAQ: LMNX) was
incorporated in May 1995 and began commercial
production of our first generation system in 1997.
Luminex develops, manufactures and markets
innovative biological testing technologies with
applications throughout the research, diagnostic
and specialty life science industries.
The companys open-architecture xMAP
Technology enables large numbers of biological
tests (bioassays) to be conducted and analyzed
quickly, cost-effectively and accurately. Systems
using xMAP Technology perform discrete
bioassays on the surface of color-coded beads
known as microspheres, which are then read
in a compact analyzer. The technology allows
multiple tests to be performed in a single
sample (multiplexing), which has many
scientific and cost advantages over other
testing platforms.
38
Luminex has implemented a unique business strategy, with an engineering focus
on the analyzer itself and a business focus on partnering to rapidly expand the
test menu available to large and growing markets. With more than 60 commercial
partners, this market-driven approach has resulted in tests being commercially
available in the following areas:
Neurodegenerative Disease
Molecular Infectious Disease
Human Genetics Testing
Infectious Disease Testing
Autoimmune Testing
Protein Expression Profiling
Genomic Research
The open-architecture nature of xMAP Technology means that laboratories and
customers can easily develop in-house biological assays to meet their specific
needs. Luminex offers a number of resources to support such home-brew assay
development. To learn about licensing xMAP Technology for commercial assay
development, visit www.luminexcorp.com/Partners/BecomeaPartner.
