Is it possible to reduce sample volumes for the analysis of extracellular proteins in multiplex immunoassay for the Luminex platform?

Reduction of the sample volume by half, 25 uL, is a viable alternative when sample volume is limiting.

I am interested in performing Luminex assays using BioSource kits, and I have a Luminex xMAP system. Besides the kits and system, what other reagents and equipment will I need?

The following is a list of general lab supplies that are required for running BioSource immunoassays on the Luminex xMAP system:
1) Sonicating water bath
2) Orbital shaker
3) Vortexer
4) Repeating and/or multi-channel pipetter (not required, but recommended)
5) Calibrated adjustable precision pipettes, with disposable plastic tips
6) Glass/plastic tubes and racks for preparing reagents
7) Graduated cylinder and container for preparing wash solution
8) Aluminum foil
9) Deionized or distilled water.

Do the Luminex beads require special care in handling?

The Luminex beads should be protected from light because they are susceptible to photobleaching. We recommend protecting the beads by keeping containers covered with aluminum foil during all incubation steps, and exercising care during handling. The beads should not be frozen, subjected to excessive heat, or exposed to organic solvents.
