I would like to know if any readers have experience with a new flow
cytometry-based assay from Luminex called FlowMetrix.  This assay uses
colored beads as carrier vehicles for molecular reactions (antigen,
antibody, nucleic acid), the flow cytometer as a means to assay the
beads, and digital signal processing for analyzing the results.  The
manufacturers claim the analysis of up to 64 analytes per tube in only
15-20 seconds.  I understand it currently is configured for use with the
FACScan.  Please respond to the cytometry mailing list so that others
can benefit from our experience.
