The RayBiotech Human Chemokine Array C1 (cat. no. AAH-CHE-1) is a membrane-based chemokine antibody array that detects 38 human chemokines in a single experiment — including IL-8 (CXCL8), MCP-1 (CCL2), RANTES (CCL5), IP-10 (CXCL10), MIG (CXCL9), SDF-1 (CXCL12), MIP-1α (CCL3), MIP-1β (CCL4), TARC (CCL17), MDC (CCL22) and Fractalkine (CX3CL1). It is a fast way to see which chemokines change between conditions before committing to single-analyte ELISAs. Changyu Biotech supplies RayBiotech arrays to research labs worldwide; request a quote.

Typical applications
- Tumour microenvironment and immune-cell recruitment studies.
- Inflammation and infection models — which chemokines drive neutrophil, monocyte or T-cell influx.
- Comparing conditioned media from treated vs untreated cells.
- Screening before choosing ELISA targets for validation.
Choosing a chemokine array format
- C1 membrane (this page): no special equipment, semi-quantitative, good first screen.
- Glass-slide G-Series: same idea on glass, read on a laser microarray scanner, smaller sample volume.
- Quantibody (quantitative) arrays: absolute concentrations for each target when you need numbers rather than relative changes.
Common questions
What does the Human Chemokine Array C1 measure?
It detects 38 human chemokines in parallel on one membrane, including IL-8 (CXCL8), MCP-1 (CCL2), RANTES (CCL5), IP-10 (CXCL10), MIG (CXCL9), SDF-1 (CXCL12), MIP-1α/β and Fractalkine (CX3CL1).
Is it quantitative?
The C-Series membrane array is semi-quantitative: it compares relative levels between samples. For absolute concentrations, use a quantitative (Quantibody) chemokine array or ELISA for selected targets.
What samples can I use?
Typical samples are serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and cell or tissue lysates; follow the kit manual for volumes and dilutions.
What equipment do I need?
Membrane arrays use chemiluminescent detection, so a standard chemiluminescence imager or X-ray film is sufficient — no microarray scanner is required.
