Our broad portfolio consists of multiplex panels that allow you to choose, within the panel, analytes that best meet your needs. On a separate tab you can choose the premixed cytokine format or a single plex kit.
Cell Signaling Kits & MAPmates™
Choose fixed kits that allow you to explore entire pathways or processes. Or design your own kits by choosing single plex MAPmates™, following the provided guidelines.
The following MAPmates™ should not be plexed together:
-MAPmates™ that require a different assay buffer
-Phospho-specific and total MAPmate™ pairs, e.g. total GSK3β and GSK3β (Ser 9)
-PanTyr and site-specific MAPmates™, e.g. Phospho-EGF Receptor and phospho-STAT1 (Tyr701)
-More than 1 phospho-MAPmate™ for a single target (Akt, STAT3)
-GAPDH and β-Tubulin cannot be plexed with kits or MAPmates™ containing panTyr

MILLIPLEX® MAP Kit Validation and Quality Assurance Criteria
We carefully develop and validate every MILLIPLEX® MAP kit and evaluate performance criteria including cross-reactivity, sensitivity, specificity, dilution linearity, kit stability and sample behavior (e.g. detectability and stability). We write the protocol with assay performance and your workflow in mind, making it easy to find the information you need.
Each MILLIPLEX® MAP kit includes all necessary reagents to prepare the assay to read on your Luminex® instrument, just add your sample and water:
Selectable capture antibody-conjugated magnetic beads in solution
A premixed standard cocktail allowing you to easily rehydrate and prepare your serial dilutions
Two premixed quality control cocktails (QCs) to qualify assay performance
A premixed detection antibody cocktail designed to yield consistent analyte profiles within panel
A prediluted optimized concentration of Streptavidin Phycoerythrin (SAPE)
An optimized serum matrix is included for kits validated for serum or plasma samples, to mimic native sample environment
Bead diluent containing proprietary blocking reagents to reduce non-specific binding to the antibodies in the assay
10X wash buffer and assay buffer optimized specifically for the kit
96- or 384-well plate (depending on assay format) with two plate sealers
MILLIPLEX® MAP cell signaling kits have a different format to support the use of cell lysate samples.

How to Decide Which MILLIPLEX® Assay Is Best for Your Research
In Method Comparison tests (comparing ELISA and MILLIPLEX® MAP assays), while the absolute values are not exactly the same, the results do correlate. Hence when switching from one assay method to another, a correction factor may be used when comparing with past data. In most situations the dynamic range and the sensitivity of the assay may be better with the MILLIPLEX® kits.
What are researchers saying about MILLIPLEX® MAP Quality?
“I have used Merck MILLIPLEX® MAP kits for the past four years. Initially I started using these kits to multiplex a specific set of markers, but given their reliability, consistency, and ease of use, I have transitioned all my experiments away from traditional ELISAs. Beyond just being a great product, Merck's customer and technical support is at the top of the industry. The combination of superior product with award-winning support has extended the capabilities of my research, allowing me to answer new novel research questions. I consider MILLIPLEX® MAP kits an important component of my research toolbox.”
