Overview
The BD® Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Solutions measure a variety of soluble and intracellular proteins, including cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and phosphorylated signaling proteins using flow cytometry.
The solutions:
- Enable analysis of up to 30 proteins using just 25 to 50 μL of sample
- Are compatible with almost any standard flow cytometer without the need to purchase expensive single-purpose equipment
- Are available in preconfigured kits or in an open configurable format for unique needs
- BD® CBA Kits—preconfigured for simple set up and to minimize the need for optimization of routine panel
- BD® CBA Flex Sets—open and configurable method of detection to build your own multiplexes for protein quantitation as low as 10 pg/mL
- BD® CBA Enhanced Sensitivity Flex Sets—capable of detecting cytokine concentrations as low as 0.274 pg/mL
- BD® CBA Functional Beads—allow you to conjugate your own antibody for your protein of interest
