Higher-throughput multiplexing

The Luminex FLEXMAP 3D Instrument System is an advanced and versatile multiplexing platform. A fast read time, compatibility with both 96- and 384-well plates, and ease of integration with front-end automation systems make the Luminex FLEXMAP 3D system well-suited for high-throughput applications. Automated start up, shut down, and maintenance routines make the Luminex FLEXMAP 3D system easy to use and maintain. The system is compatible with Invitrogen ProcartaPlex multiplex immunoassays and Invitrogen QuantiGene Plex multiplex gene expression assays, in both 96- and 384-well format.
