Meanings of limit multiplexing in English

Cytokines are commonly measured by immunoassays; however, these have limited multiplexing capacity, are costly, and can exhibit cross-reactivity.

Currently available emitters have short luminescent lifetimes, broad absorption and emission bands, and small Stokes shifts, which limits multiplexing in this region to two colors.

The conventional method for detection of mutations in the CYP21A2 gene is targeted capillary sequencing which is labor intensive and has limited multiplexing capability.
