BeadXpress Reader
BeadXpress Reader
Applications: Custom Low- to Mid-plex Genotyping, Custom Low- to Mid-plex Methylation Analysis, SNP Screening, Protein Screening
The BeadXpress Reader is the optimal solution for both small and high-throughput laboratories conducting molecular testing that benefit from robust, multiplexed-based assays. It employs a dual-color laser detection system that identifies the unique holographic codes embedded in VeraCode microbeads, and detects the signal intensity associated with each bead. More...

System Description
This system supports the development of both single- and two-color assays, across genotyping, gene expression, methylation, and protein-based assays. The BeadXpress System comes with VeraScan software, which provides a user-friendly graphical interface to control the BeadXpress Reader, enabling users to load assays, perform real-time scans, and view scan data for up to 96 samples per run. The software features administrator control of setting user specific accounts and rights, configuration of default file locations, and security options, including alerts via email. It also offers customization of scanning protocols, enables acquisition and viewing of intensity data, and report generation.
