MESO QuickPlex

The MESO QuickPlex SQ 120 is a multiplexing plate reader using high-performance, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassays for detecting biomarkers. The instrument allows for precise quantitation of single or multiple, low to elevated abundance analytes, in a single sample. The MULTI-ARRAY technology has increased dynamic range, improved sensitivity, reduced sample volume and reagent requirements, compared to convetional ELISA . A wide menu of immunoassay kits, and a full line of components and reagents for developing your own assay are available for the MESO QuickPlex, covering various applications including immunology, inflammation, oncology, neurobiology, and toxicology. The instrument is easy to learn and simple to use. The MESO QuickPlex SQ120 is available for everyone to use.

The MESO QuickPlex allows:

• ECL detection for high sensitivity and broad dynamic range
• Single and multiplex assays
• Single-well read mode for ultimate performance
• Wide menu of available kits
• Full line of components for user-developed assays

Examples of multiplexing immunoassays:

• Neuroinflammation panels, alpha-synuclein kit and Ab38/40/42 panel
• Cytokine & Chemokine profiling
• Intracellular signaling
