The U-PLEX platform makes it easy to create multiplex immunoassays. Using two simple tools - a 10-spot U-PLEX plate and unique Linkers - you can build multiplex panels for any combination of analytes. The analytes in the U-PLEX menu are organized into U-PLEX Groups. Analytes within the same U-PLEX Group have been tested for multiplex compatibility and can be combined in panels with confidence.

The U-PLEX Metabolic Group 1 (rat) contains 12 biomarkers (Table 1) related to the metabolic syndrome and other disorders. This U-PLEX Group can be ordered as a full panel (12 markers) or as one or more smaller panels that are subsets of the full panel. The full panel is available as a catalog product K15308K. Ordering any subset of assays from the U-PLEX Metabolic Group 1 (rat) is simple and can be done online with MSD’s U-PLEX Assay Designer.
