Bio-Plex Pro cell signaling assays are magnetic bead–based immunoassays for the detection of intracellular phosphoproteins and total target proteins in cell and tissue lysates. Phosphoprotein assays measure the relative amount of the phosphorylated protein. In cases where phosphoprotein and total target protein assays are offered, they must be run in different wells due to shared bead regions. Using the multiplex format, the profiles of multiple phosphorylated proteins involved in cell signaling pathways can be detected using only 50 µl of lysate.
These assays are based on 6.5 µm magnetic beads.

Additional Necessary Reagents
In addition to a phosphoprotein or total target assay, the Bio-Plex Pro cell signaling reagent kit (#171-304006M) is needed to perform a Bio-Plex Pro cell signaling assay.
Additional Recommended Reagents
For best results it is recommended that the appropriate cell lysate controls be included in each experiment. Refer to the Bio-Rad cell lysate controls selection guide to identify the appropriate controls for your Bio-Plex Pro cell signaling phosphoprotein or total target assay of interest.
