Cytokines and growth factors array

CYTOKINES & GROWTH FACTORS RESEARCH BIOCHIPS

Randox supplies biochips for all your cytokines & growth factors research. Biochips offer multiplexing; all analytes are measured simultaneously from one sample. Biochip array technology brings analytical clinical standards to research. Randox biochips are ready-to-use on the evidence investigator™ complete with controls and calibrators.

Cytokines and growth factors are proteins secreted primarily by immune system cells such as leucocytes. They are a means of intercellular communication with both immune and non-immune system cells. Upon binding to a cell membrane receptor, cytokines initiate a signal transduction cascade in their target cell. Cytokines form a complex web of interactions since:

Different cytokines can have similar effects.

Cells interact with a variety of cytokines.

Cytokines may affect the activity and expression of other cytokines.

evidence investigator
The evidence investigator is a compact bench-top Biochip Array Technology analyser for the simultaneous analysis of a panel of tests in a single sample. The Clinical standards for research page gives an overview of Biochip Array Technology.
The cytokines and growth factors array of tests are presented on a single biochip. All twelve tests are performed simultaneously using just one assay diluent, one panel-specific conjugate solution and one signal reagent.
