The MAGPIX system performs up to 50 tests with a single reaction volume and supports both single and multiplex assay analysis of proteins and nucleic acids
- Affordability: Benefit from an affordable multiplexing solution that costs up to 4x less than comparable ELISA assays.
- Efficiency: Measure up to 50 targets in a single well and analyze both proteins and nucleic acids.
- Compact size: Reduce lab clutter with a smaller, more compact instrument that requires less than three feet of linear bench space.
