OpenArray Plates: Custom, Flexible, and Fixed-Content Options
Custom OpenArray® plates
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.
| Plate format for gene expression & miRNA analysis | # of samples per plate | Minimum order (10 pack) | Total # of samples per minimum order | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Inventoried assays only | Inventoried, made-to-order, and/or custom assays | |||
| 18 (3X) assays | 48 | 1 | 1 | 480 |
| 56 assays | 48 | 1 | 1 | 480 |
| 112 assays | 24 | 1 | 2 | 240 (inv only)/ 480 (inv/custom) |
| 168 assays | 16 | 1 | 3 | 160 (inv only)/ 480 (inv/custom) |
| 224 assays | 12 | 1 | 4 | 120 (inv only)/ 480 (inv/custom) |
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.
| Plate format for genotyping analysis | # of samples per plate | Minimum order (10 pack) | Total # of samples per minimum order |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 assays | 144 | 1 | 1,440 |
| 32 assays | 96 | 1 | 960 |
| 64 assays | 48 | 2 | 960 |
| 128 assays | 24 | 4 | 960 |
| 192 assays | 16 | 6 | 960 |
| 256 assays | 12 | 8 | 960 |

OpenArray® flexible-content panels
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.
