OpenArray Plates: Custom, Flexible, and Fixed-Content Options

The custom option offers you the flexibility you need to design your own panels using our 1.3 million TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays, 4.5 million predesigned genotyping assays—including 2,700 inventoried drug-metabolizing enzyme (DME) assays—or your own custom TaqMan® assays. Custom OpenArray® plates include a suite of 11 formats to address your sample throughput needs (see Table 1).

Table 1: Custom OpenArray™ plate format

Custom OpenArray® plates for the QuantStudio® 12K Flex system are offered in 11 formats to provide flexible solutions for configuring your plates for gene expression, miRNA, or genotyping analysis.

Note: There are two sets of minimum order requirements for the gene expression offerings. “Inventoried” refers to OpenArray® configurations where all selected assays are inventoried . “Inventoried/made to order/custom” refers to configurations that contain at least one custom or made-to-order assay.

OpenArray® flexible-content panels are pre-configured plates of TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays or TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays for a specific pathway, disease, or research focus area. The assays are auto-populated into the custom design tool and the panel can be modified to include or exclude specific assays. This flexible format enables more precise control and simplified assay setup.
