We currently use the Luminex for assays, but I am confused about how the proteome profiler works in conjunction or when you use each?

Answer
The Proteome Profiler Arrays do not require any specialized equipment and are an easy screening solution for researchers that do not have access to a Luminex machine. Additionally, the Arrays are ideal for researchers who are interested in first qualitatively screening for changes in the secretome on a large panel of analytes. Using the initial Proteome Profiler data, one can identify candidate analytes that can be more quantitatively investigated using Luminex.
