Luminex xMAP Technology Instrumentation, Software & Templates
Luminex’s xMAP technology is built on proven, existing technology — flow cytometry, microspheres, lasers, digital signal processing and traditional chemistry — that have been combined in a unique way. Featuring a flexible, open-architecture design, xMAP technology can be configured to perform a wide variety of bioassays quickly, cost-effectively and accurately.
Millipore, through Linco and Upstate, was one of the earliest adopters of the Luminex xMAP technology. Explore our Luminex instrumentation and software offerings, including the new Luminex xPONENT software for managing your Luminex instrument and easily setting up and running your assays.
