release of the
FLEXMAP 3DTM system
High-Throughput Multiplexing System Launched by Luminex
June 24, 2009
Luminex Corp announced the full market release of the FLEXMAP 3DTM system, a high-throughput multiplexing instrument that allows scientists to simultaneously perform up to 500 tests on a single sample. This was created with input from scientists worldwide.
FLEXMAP 3D was designed to meet the needs of medium and high-volume laboratories, such as academic, reference and pharmaceutical research laboratories. The FLEXMAP 3D multiplexing system's ability to conduct many tests at once can significantly enhance the efficiencies of life sciences research and drug discovery.
Based on Luminex's flexible xMAP® Technology, FLEXMAP 3D fills an essential segment between the low multiplex marketplace and the high multiplex microarray market. The robust system provides scientists at medium and high volume laboratories significantly enhanced throughput, higher multiplexing, with up to 500 analytes per well, improved analytical performance, 96 or 384 well plate format, enhanced dual pipetting, automation and LIS compatibility, streamlined calibration and performance verification routines and easy maintenance with a simple workflow.
FLEXMAP 3D can perform multiplexed genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic biomarker analysis on a single platform and is ideal for applications such as SNP genotyping and gene expression analysis, which are vital in areas such as high throughput pharmaceutical research. By enabling research to proceed more efficiently, the system allows faster screening of novel targets and an overall improvement in laboratory management.
