Introducing the next MasterPlex® QT v4.0 - Make Your Discovery

Powerful support for multiplex quantitative data analysis!

MasterPlex QT v4.0 is software that accelerates your path from data to discovery on the Luminex® xMAP® platform. MasterPlex QT v4.0 helps you import, navigate and analyze large volumes of quantitative multiplex 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.

What's new in v4.0?

• Best Fit feature automatically selects the optimal model equation and weighting algorithm

• On the fly recalculations for easy outlier exclusion

2. Brand New Report Generator

• Spreadsheet style pivot charts
• Drag and drop to create your own custom report


3. Completely Redesigned Tabbed UI

• Simple left to right workflow
• Context related items grouped in tabs

4. Brand New Graphing Engine

• Create customized publication quality charts and graphs with a few clicks


5. Redesigned Plate View

• Display multiple data points per well
• View statistical data for replicate groups at a glance

OR choose from the following data types:
• Count
• Standards
• Standard Links
• Outlier
• Sample Name
• Dilution
• MFI Average
• MFI Stdev
• MFI %CV
• Conc Average
• Conc Stdev
• Conc %CV

Reasons to Choose MasterPlex

• Software is the interface to your experimental results and, more than anything else, is what sets different instrument systems apart. MiraiBio, a Group of Hitachi Software, is the only software company focused on the xMAP platform.


• MasterPlex protects your investment in an xMAP instrument beyond your current assay needs, because it is regularly updated to support a growing variety of application areas, including chemokine cytokine quantitation, regression analysis, and miRNA and gene expression profiling.

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-anddrag or let the sample name recognition feature in MasterPlex QT 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 standards over time
• Quantitate samples on one plate using standards from another plate

4. Calculate

Save time processing data with built-in algorithms that:
• Generate standard curves for absolute quantitation using multiple curve-fitting algorithms including 4PL and 5PL and one of 5 weighting algorithms.
• Automatically detect outliers based on standard deviation within replicate groups, absolute thresholds for MFI, bead count or concentration/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 with a variety of charts that clearly reveal which data points to examine more closely or how well a standard curve fits the data points

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.
