Bio-Plex Pro

RBM IGF and IGFBP Assays

The Bio-Plex Pro RBM IGF and IGFBP assays include a wide range of
biomarkers implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes, obesity, and
metabolic syndrome, as well as biomarkers for associated conditions such
as cardiovascular disease and inflammation.
For researchers working with limited sample volume, the capacity to
multiplex provides an effective option over the traditional ELISA method.
The use of magnetic (MagPlex) beads allows researchers to automate
wash steps on a Bio-Plex Pro (or similar) wash station.
