Is there an advantage in using a c12 linker over c6 linker in coupling probes to magplex magnetic beads from Luminex. The objective is to develop a 34 target multiplex assay for detection of various viruses and bacteria using the MagPix instrument from Luminex. -Rachel

Dear Rachel,

Thank you for your question. We suggest using the C12-amino linker as recommended in the Luminex probe/primer design manual. It is likely that the protocol was optimized for this linker.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,
