MasterPlex® QT EX - Make Your Discovery

Powerful support for multiplex expression data analysis!

MasterPlex QT EX is software that accelerates your path from data to discovery on the Luminex® xMAP® platform. MasterPlex QT EX helps you import, navigate and analyze large volumes of multiplex expression data to understand biological significance; and creates customizable charts and reports to help you communicate your results, your way. From importing data to publishing results, its advanced algorithms, automation and intuitive visual interface streamline your entire workflow and save you time on the way to your next breakthrough.

Key Benefits for Your Workflow

1. Import and Setup

Import and parse data from any xMAP based multiplex system. Save time with templates that remember how your samples are arranged on your plates. Mark wells as background, control, treated, etc. Group replicates with a simple click-and-drag or let the sample name recognition feature in MasterPlex QT EX do it for you.

2. Navigate

Make sense of large volumes of data with an intuitive interface that replicates the layout of your plates and helps you navigate through each analyte's "layer" of data. View average, standard deviation and CV% for MFI values directly in the plate view without having to run a report.

3. Expand Your Assays

Expand beyond instrument or assay limitations with the virtual plate, combining data from two or more real plates to:
• Increase the "plex" of your experiment
• Monitor controls over time
• Calculate fold change across plates

4. Calculate

Save time processing data with built-in algorithms that:
• Calculate fold-change or relative quantification (for gene and microRNA expression profiling) with or without normalization, relative to one or several housekeeping genes.
• Automatically detect outliers based on standard deviation within replicate groups, absolute thresholds for MFI, bead count or fold change.
• Analyze data from any of the ever-expanding menu of commercially available or in-house developed multiplex assay kits.

5. Analyze and Interpret

Analyze and interpret data visually using MasterPlex QT’s robust built-in graphing engine.
Create customized publication quality graphs with a few clicks.

6. Publish and Export

Publish charts and custom reports in any format using highly customizable XSL templates, for easy integration with downstream databases or LIMS.

7. Share Licenses

Network licensing lets you install MasterPlex QT on as many computers as you need while only paying for software that you actually use.
