Effect of different assay buffers on standard detection. Buffers intended for dilution of standards from MSD, Luminex (magnetic bead), and Luminex (polystyrene bead) kits were used to dilute the same S5 standard (representing 156.25 pg/ml of each of 51 cytokines). The buffers show generally similar patterns of cytokine detection, but the degree to which “Buffer 2” (MSD kit) and “Buffer 3” (Luminex magnetic bead kit) inhibit cytokine detection is greater than that for “Buffer 1” (Luminex polystyrene bead) in certain cases
