FirePlex® miRNA Platform

​​Multiplex miRNA assays with FirePlex particle technology enables simultaneous profiling of 65 miRNAs directly from small amounts of biofluid or FFPE, without RNA purification or pre-amplification, with assay readout on a standard flow cytometer.

• Small sample input

20ul of serum, plasma, urine, exosomes, single 5 µm FFPE section.

• Extraction-free

Eliminate extraction bias, reduce variability, simplify workflow, and conserve your sample.

• Easy and rapid data analysis with FirePlex Analysis Workbench software

Carry out complex analysis and visualization, as well as export publication-quality heat maps and graphs in under ten minutes.

• No specialized equipment is required

Readout is performed on standard flow cytometers

• Parallel processing of 96 samples

Multiplexed detection of up to 70 targets (65 miRNA and 5 internal controls) in 96-well plate

• A customizable biomarker development platform

Select between pre-designed panels for key research areas, larger discovery panels, or design custom panels to detect any miRNA from any species, whether annotated in miRBase or not.
