Bio-Techne Corporation announced that R&D Systems(R), a Bio-Techne brand, has released its new Quantist Luminex(R) data analysis software. Compatible with all available Luminex xMAP(R) instruments, Quantist software provides fast, reliable analysis of Luminex multiplex assay data, helping researchers extract valuable insights from complex data. The new Quantist software provides researchers with an important tool for quickly analyzing dozens of analytes with improved accuracy and efficiency, including the ability to evaluate the long-term consistency of their Luminex assay data.

The intuitive software interface allows users to easily make inter-assay comparisons, adjust standard curve parameters, and export optimized data for creating ready-to-graph Excel files. Luminex xMAP technology is a leading bead-based assay platform that allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in a single sample. The quantification of multiple cytokines and other biomarkers in a sample provides critical information about biological processes and diseases.

With Quantist software, R&D Systems Luminex users now have a comprehensive, end-to-end workflow solution for intelligent, high-performance multiplexing. Taken together, R&D Systems(R) Discovery and High Performance assays comprise one of the largest, most flexible Luminex analyte menus available. Assays are available for human, mouse, porcine, non-human primate, and rat from samples including serum, plasma, and cell culture media.
