The existing Luminex machine has a wide customer base since it is sited within the Biomolecular core facility (BMC) and is accessible to internal and external customers via an online booking system PPMS, we have a customer base of more than 1500 researchers. This will increase following our recent move into the Institute of Regeneration and Research (IRR), a larger bespoke building that accommodates 1000 staff and students.
The new upgraded machine will operate to the same high standards, with dedicated support from the BMC offered to users on the operation of the machine and the design and running of assays. Previously, the BMC have investigated human and mouse serum and plasma, human cerebra-spinal fluid, mouse tissue samples etc. This illustrates the wide scope of protein detection capabilities of the system and its versatility especially with very small sample volumes that are unsuitable for protein detection using existing more labour-intensive methods for instance Western blotting which requires 20 micrograms of protein per lane and the associated detection problems with transferring to membranes, protein losses and antibody detection.
