Multiplex assays, a technology that allows the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in a single microplate well, are revolutionizing the life sciences industry. Singleplex assays, while effective, require separate wells for each analyte, making them time-consuming and resource-intensive. In contrast, multiplex assays enable the analysis of multiple nucleic acids, proteins, or molecules in a single biological sample using less sample volume.

Furthermore, protein multiplex assays, such as protein microarrays and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays, are widely used for the detection of various analytes, including genital infections caused by herpes simplex virus. Multiplex assay kits employing fluorescence detection techniques, like flow cytometry, are gaining popularity due to their high throughput capabilities. These assays offer significant advantages, including increased efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced data acquisition. The market for multiplex assays is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing demand for rapid, accurate, and cost-effective analysis of biological samples.
