Powerful support for large-volume multiplex data analysis!

MasterPlex QT is software that accelerates your path from data to discovery on the Luminex?xMAP?platform. MasterPlex QT 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.

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.
   • 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 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.

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.
