Abstract
Multiplex immunoassays are important tools in basic research and diagnostics. The ability to accurately quantify the presence of several antigens within an individual sample all at once has been useful in developing a proteomics view of biology. This in turn has enabled the development of disease-associated immunodiagnostic panels for better prognosis and well-being. Moreover, it is well understood that such multiplexing approaches lend themselves to automation, thereby reducing labor while providing the ability to dramatically conserve both reagent and sample all of which will reduce the cost per test. Here we describe various methods to create and use multiplex immunoassays in the wells of microtiter plates or similar formats.
