Join us for the 6th Annual Planet xMAP USA Multiplexing Symposium - an outstanding opportunity to learn about new and exciting applications on xMAP Technology. Hear presentations from leading scientists performing groundbreaking work in Protein Expression Profiling, Molecular Diagnostics, and other key areas. Also, learn more about the many xMAP-based applications available from Luminex partners, including both research and FDA-cleared kits. Share ideas and experiences with some of our 6,000 customers who use xMAP® 3D liquid bead arrays.
This unique event is for users or prospective users in academic, pharma and clinical labs who are interested in expanding multiplexed testing capabilities for proteins and nucleic acids.
