Multiplex measurement of low abundance circulating proteins
The Simoa® bead-based assay on the SR-X™ enables multiplex measurement of neurodegeneration biomarkers. The distribution of healthy donor sample readings is depicted, along with the LLOQ (dashed lines) of each assay in each validated matrix (see Figure 1).

The value of the SR-X system
The Quanterix SR-X® Ultrasensitive Biomarker Detection System is the latest benchtop instrument powered by Simoa® technology. It offers researchers access to ultra-sensitive protein identification within a compact and affordable system.
The SR-X™ supports multiplexed detection for up to four biomarkers per sample. The low volume requirements increase throughput and productivity and conserve precious samples.
A menu of transferable kits between all bead-based assay instruments is available to researchers. This simplifies the measuring of critical biomarkers with higher sensitivity than standard immunoassay methods and enables the identification of normal and acute biomarker levels with accuracy for a variety of sample types.
