Clean and in excellent condition as shown. Pulled from a premiere state facility during a department upgrade. The system was regularly maintained and, according to the dept notes, fully functional. Powered and passed initialization.
Comes as shown with 3 tubes of beads, 3x communication cables and 3x AC cables.
Hassle-Free Warranty
Due to the weight and sensitivity of this system we prefer to ship via freight carrier. The flat rate is covers palletization and shipping to a commercial address with forklift or loading dock. If you prefer to use ground carrier, we will pack each unit separately and adjust shipping cost as necessary. If this cannot be done prior to purchase, any difference will be refunded prior to shipping.

Luminex xMAP technology
The open architecture of Luminex xMAP technology uses imaging, microspheres, digital signal processing, and traditional chemistry—combining proven technologies in a unique way.
Advantages of Luminex xMAP technology include:
- Helps reduce costs and labor through multiplexing
- Smaller sample size requirements compared to single result assays
- Enables fast, reproducible results from favorable kinetics of liquid bead array approach
- Broad coverage of applications, including protein expression and gene expression profiling
How Luminex xMAP technology works
Sets of magnetic microspheres are color-coded with combinations of red and infrared fluorophores. Each bead set is coated with a reagent specific to a particular bioassay, allowing the capture and detection of several specific analytes from a single sample. Optics in the compact analyzer excite the internal dyes that identify each microsphere as well as any reporter dye captured, providing quantitation of individual analytes on each microsphere. The analyzer reads many beads from each set, enabling rapid and precise results for several targets within a single sample.
