The FLEXMAP 3D® System is a flow‑based multiplexing system powered by Luminex® xMAP® technology. It enables simultaneous analysis of up to 500 analytes from a single sample, delivering fast, accurate, and reproducible results. When combined with MILLIPLEX® assays, it provides a complete solution for protein, cytokine, and nucleic acid detection. This powerful platform helps researchers streamline workflows, conserve samples, and accelerate biomarker discovery and translational research.

Application

Powered by xMAP® technology and MILLIPLEX® assays, researchers can perform multiplexed analysis of proteins, cytokines, and other biomarkers in complex biological samples. This versatile platform supports applications in immunology, oncology, and biomarker discovery, enabling high-throughput profiling and reproducible insights that advance scientific research.

Features and Benefits

  • High multiplexing capacity – analyze up to 500 analytes in a single run.
  • Fast read times – ~20 minutes for 96 well plates, ~75 minutes for 384 well plates.
  • Flexible plate formats – supports both 96 and 384 well plates for scalable throughput.
  • Automation ready – integrates seamlessly with front end automation systems to streamline workflows.
  • Reliable performance – robust dynamic range and reproducible results for confident data analysis.
