FLEXMAP 3D® System
High-speed, highly-multiplexed assays for breakthrough research
The FLEXMAP 3D®, a flow-based reader, offers fast read time, compatibility with both 96- and 384-well plates, and easy integration with front end automation systems. The platform uses both magnetic and non-magnetic microspheres and is capable of simultaneously measuring up to 500 genes or proteins from a small sample volume. Automated startup, shutdown, and maintenance routines make the FLEXMAP 3D® easy to use and maintain.

Software
xPONENT® is a modular, flexible software package for control of the MAGPIX®, Luminex® 200™, and FLEXMAP 3D®. The software’s graphical user interface (GUI) follows the typical assay workflow but can be customized to meet the needs of a specific laboratory. Navigation wizards and automated routine operations such as startup, shutdown, calibration, and performance verification further enhance system usability and result in increased walk-away time.
