FLEXMAP 3D® Multiplexing Instrument
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® multi…

Love the FLEXMAP 3D!
HLA/SSO TYPING AND AB DETECTION
Reproducibility of results has been fantastic! We switched from the Luminex 200 and results are comparable. Quicker analysis/run time and ease of maintenance!

Beating heart of our facility, could not live without them.
Immune phenotyping
Good stable machinery, we have multiple at our facility for several years now with minimal down time. Acquisition software could be improved, though this is a minor issue.

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.
