Shannon ABC’s Researchers Analyse Inflammatory Responses with the Luminex 200 System
Recently, our researchers (Dhanyamol George and Wisdom Shadrach) used the Luminex 200 System instrument to evaluate the inflammatory response from cultured human endothelial cell supernatant.
The Luminex 200 System instrument is a multiplexing piece of equipment funded by @EnterpriseIreland, available at @ShannonABC for industry collaborations.
