xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel for State-of-the-Art Molecular GI Testing

The FLEXMAP 3D® detects up to 500 protein or nucleic acid analytes from a single aliquot of sample in a single reaction well, enabling you to generate more data while saving sample, time, and reagents.  Fast read time, compatibility with both 96- and 384-well plates, and ease of integration with front-end automation systems make the FLEXMAP 3D the platform of choice for high-throughput bioassay applications. The xMAP® multiplexing platform is composed of an instrument and associated reagents: The FLEXMAP 3D® instrument is based on the principles of flow cytometry, which integrates key xMAP detection components such as lasers, optics, fluidics and high-speed digital signal processors. xMAP microspheres are a family of 500 fluorescently dyed carboxylated polystyrene microspheres that act as both the surface for the solution phase assay and the spectral identifier that the instrument detects. The open architecture of xMAP Technology enables users to build custom multiplex assays or select from a broad menu commercially available kits.
