QuickPlex
The QuickPlex is capable of simultaneously measuring multiple threat agents in a single sample using electrochemiluminescence and immunoassays. A range of kits for toxin, virus and bacterial detection are available as are components and reagents for user developed assays. Multiplex plates are available with dry reagents in 96-well plates with 9, 16, or 25 spots per well. Three models are available: a reader-only, an automated sample processing unit for aerosol applications, and a fully automated laboratory workstation.
