FLEXMAP 3D® Multiplexing Instrument
The FLEXMAP 3D® system combines differentially dyed fluorescent microsphere sets with an innovative instrument design to enable precise, rapid multiplexing of up to 500 unique assays within a single sample.
Features such as automated probe height adjustment, simplified routine maintenance operations and an intuitive software interface make the FLEXMAP 3D® system a flexible and easy-to-use multiplexing platform capable of quantifying protein and nucleic acid biomarkers.
FLEXMAP 3D® Multiplexing Instrument Highlights
- Highest multiplexing - Each microsphere is impregnated with different amounts of three dyes. Monitoring the relative intensities of the three signals enables the system to discriminate up to 500 different microsphere sets.
- Ultra-fast - Quantify 48,000 analytes in less than one hour. Dual sample fluidics paths and increased syringe injection speed facilitate a faster sample injection rate.
- 96- and 384-well capability - Greater sample volume flexibility and increased throughput.
- Automation/LIS compatibility - The new xPONENT® 4.2 Software controls the FLEXMAP 3D® system and offers interfacing options for Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) as well as automation.
