MAGPIX™ System

MAGPIX® is the simplest, most affordable, and most compact of Luminex’s xMAP® instruments. This compact multiplexing unit performs up to 50 different tests in a single reaction volume and reads a 96-well-plate in just 60 minutes. MAGPIX features self-cleaning routines and magnetic bead compatibility (with MagPlex® beads), making the instrument easy to learn and easy to use. MAGPIX can be ordered with a laptop PC instead of a desktop PC.

Experience the power of MAGPIX and perform up to 50 tests in a single reaction volume.

The MAGPIX system features an innovative design based on CCD imaging technology that allows for a more compact, robust system. It’s also easy to operate and maintain with streamlined start-up and shutdown protocols and minimal maintenance requirements. And MAGPIX is supported by a broad menu of commercially available assay kits, as well as reagents to build your own assays.

Key MAGPIX Features

  • Multiplexing: Up to 50 analytes per sample
  • Sensitivity: Approximately 106 copies of DNA or single-digit picogram levels of protein
  • Dynamic Range (Typical): ≥ 3.5 logs
  • Read Time: 96-well plate in ≤ 60 min (up to 4,800 tests/hour)
  • Daily Start-Up/Shut-Down: ≤ 15 min
  • Foot Print: three ft linear bench space

Let MAGPIX empower your research with:

  • Affordability: Benefit from an affordable multiplexing solution that costs up to 4X less than comparable ELISA assays.*
  • Versatility: Transition to multiplexing at your own pace and exponentially grow your data.
  • Flexibility: Achieve a wider array of goals with the ability to analyze both proteins and nucleic acids.
  • Compact size: Reduce clutter with a compact instrument requiring less linear bench space.
  • Efficiency: Measure up to 50 targets in a single reaction volume and dramatically reduce sample input.
  • Assay support: Leverage a broad array of commercially available kits as well as reagents for user-developed assays.
