"The new Bio-Plex Manager 5.0 data management software will further improve drug research productivity as it enables faster extraction of knowledge and increased confidence in assay results," said Bio-Plex marketing manager Emily Dale.
"The software supports all Luminex xMap bead assays, including assays that use magnetic beads".
The new Bio-Plex data management software has four key improvements over the previous software version.
A new graphing capability to quickly compare sample data and results between samples and across analytes, allowing users to better understand the data using a customisable graph.
An automated maintenance feature that allows researchers to set up and automatically run (unattended) pre- or post-run custom maintenance and shut-down operations.
This feature permits users to use their time more productively as the system can be programmed to run all maintenance protocols using the Bio-Plex system reservoir.
Data normalisation, which uses internal controls such as housekeeping genes or external/exogenous controls, which allow users to establish a comparison parameter and increase their confidence in their results.
A new multiple analyte table layout for viewing sample data across analytes within a single view.
This feature allows users to scroll through the entire results data set and hide columns as needed, providing an excellent way to visually compare results.
The software is available for immediate shipping on receipt of an order. Request a free brochure from Bio-Rad Laboratories ...
