Used LUMINEX FlexMap 3D #9064798 for sale

LUMINEX FlexMap 3D is a lab instrument and accessory used in a variety of applications in the life sciences, primarily related to bead-based multiplex assays. It allows the processing of multiplexed assays in an automated platform. It utilizes a combination of fluorescence and/or luminescence technology with optics and hydrodynamic focusing of sample components to identify and analyze the data in a complex matrix. FlexMap 3D utilizes hydrodynamic focusing technology, which uses fluid dynamics to separate light-emitting particles by size. The instrument is able to focus multiple differentially sized and spaced particle populations to their pre-determined positions in the flow cell. This allows the software to detect individual particles and analyze their specific characteristics. LUMINEX FlexMap 3D includes optical components for excitation, detection, and data collection. It generally employs a collimated laser device to excite a sample comprising of fluorescent beads or other particles. The emitted light is filtered through optics, including bandpass filters and dichroic mirrors, thereby allowing specific particle populations to be detected and analyzed according to their fluorescence emission. FlexMap 3D has a variety of features, such as a variety of flow cell sizes, a well selector which allows for automated selection of sample lines, barcode readers, sample cooling capabilities and many more. The instrument can accommodate samples ranging from 20 µL to 3 mL with a wide variety of volume throughputs. The software aspect of LUMINEX FlexMap 3D is its most powerful feature. It enables users to quickly acquire and analyze data from various complex matrices. With its algorithms, users can analyze sample concentration, particle size and fluorescence intensity in real-time. It also supports any third-party analysis software, so users can further analyze raw data and quantify the results. FlexMap 3D is capable of performing multi-analyte assays, allowing scientists and researchers to conduct comprehensive and complex experiments with one platform. From epidemiological studies to laboratory diagnostics, this instrument provides an efficient and cost effective way of viewing and understanding complex biological processes. Furthermore, its powerful software facilitates the analysis of multiple analytical settings, enabling the researcher to rapidly gain insights from their experimental data. LUMINEX FlexMap 3D is an indispensable tool in many lab applications, and its dynamic, user-friendly features, combined with its comprehensive data analysis capabilities, make it an essential component of any laboratory.
