Before use, samples were +thawed at \gls{rt} and vortexed to ensure homogeneity. To run the plate, +\SI{25}{\ul} of magnetic beads were added to the plate and washed 3x using +\SI{300}{\ul} of wash buffer. \SI{25}{\ul} of samples or standard were added to +the plate and incubated for \SI{120}{\minute} at \SI{850}{\rpm} at \gls{rt} +before washing analogously 3X with wash. \SI{12.5}{\ul} detection \glspl{mab} +and \SI{25}{\ul} \gls{stppe} were sequentially added, incubated for +\SI{30}{\minute} and vortexed, and washed analogously to the sample step. +Finally, samples were resuspended in \SI{120}{\ul} reading buffer and analyzed +via a Biorad Bioplex 200 plate reader. \begin{table}[!h] \centering \caption{Luminex Panel}
