The Hitachi Software MiraiBio Group Blog

MiraiBio has heard your voice and we realize that not all customers require a perpetual license when there is only the need to use our Luminex analysis software a couple of times a year.

We are now happy to introduce the new Term Licensing options for our MasterPlex QT and GT Luminex data analysis software.  Term Licensing durations include the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, or 24 month options.  The software license expires at the end of the purchased term and also includes all major upgrades released during the term.

For those that do not need to run analyses 24/7, this may be the cost-efficient choice for you.  To find out more details, please visit the MasterPlex QT product page or the MasterPlex GT product page at the MiraiBio Store.

This latest major upgrade of MasterPlex QT includes a makeover of the entire user interface.  Beneath the new sleek design, there is a host of major improvements in algorithms, data reporting, charting and features such as the new Best Fit feature.  This feature automatically selects the optimal model equation and weighting algorithm for each analyte with a push of a button.

For more information, visit the MasterPlex QT v4.0 product information page.

Standard Curves are used in chemistry to determine the concentration of a substance. The X axis of a standard curve has units of concentration, while the Y axis usually has units of transmission or absorption of light of a particular frequency dependent on the substance of interest (usually a florescent reporter or dye). A standard curve is represented by an equation that is fit to a series of observations using known concentrations. These observations are plotted and an equation corresponding to the model being tested is regressively fit to the data. After establishing a standard curve for a particular substance, unknown concentrations can be evaluated by taking a measurement and selecting the value on the X axis (concentration) corresponding to the point on the standard curve with the appropriate Y value.
