MiraiBio, Inc. previewed MasterPlexTM CT control and data collection software for the Luminex®100 multiplex assay detection system at the American Society of Cell Biology Conference. MiraiBio is an authorized software partner of Luminex Corporation. MasterPlex CT software will be commercially available on Dec 29th of this year.

MasterPlex CT provides researchers with integrated control of the Luminex®100 platform. Using predefined Kit Manager and Kit Preference Files, key features of the MasterPlex CT software, assay preparation is significantly reduced, results immediately analyzed, and data seamlessly exported to MiraiBio MasterPlex QT and MasterPlex GT software packages. MasterPlex QT and MasterPlex GT software provides statistical and genotype analyses for data generated on the Luminex system.

Additional MasterPlex CT functionality includes Network Monitor and Action List automation with newly designed dedicated MTP (MasterPlex) Plate. MasterPlex CT’s Network Monitor feature tracks the data acquisition status of multiple Luminex100 systems, including current well reading and error status, with graphical presentations. Action List allows customized design of start up and shut down procedures and automated batch process using dedicated MTP plate. All results can be monitored remotely with Network Monitor client software.

“As an authorized software partner of Luminex Corporation, MiraiBio has developed robust, flexible and intuitive software for the Luminex®100 system. By working closely with multiple assay kit manufactures, including LINCO Research and BioSource International Inc. (Nasdaq BIOI), we have been able to reduce assay preparation time and speed data analysis,” commented Masakazu Kuji, Chief Executive Officer at MiraiBio. “The Kit Preference Files for LINCO and BioSource assay kits are available now and we expect our MasterPlex CT software to support additional commercial assay kits, including those manufactured by Marligen Bioscience, and GenoSpectra, in the near future.”
