BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA)

BD™ CBA is a flow cytometry application that allows users to quantify multiple proteins simultaneously. The BD™ CBA system uses the broad dynamic range of fluorescence detection offered by flow cytometry and antibody-coated beads to efficiently capture analytes. Each bead in the array has a unique fluorescence intensity so that beads can be mixed and run simultaneously in a single tube. This method significantly reduces sample requirements and time to results in comparison with traditional ELISA and Western blot techniques.

BD™ CBA Flex Sets provide an open and configurable method of detection, so that researchers can build their own multiplexes.

BD™ CBA Kits are preconfigured for achieving consistent results for routine panels.
