575 nm on the surface of 1 - 100 unique xMAP microsphere sets
in a single sample
• Reporter channel range: 3.5 decades of detection

• Automatic sampling from a 96-well plate
• Start sampling from any well position
• Sheath container and waste container hold enough volume to run
up to two 96-well plates between refills
• 96-well microtiter plates types:
Must be compatible with XYP instrument plate holder: Flat
bottom, conical, round, filter bottom, half-well plates with
overall height no more than 0.75 inches (19 mm). Use black
opaque plates if possible to reduce photobleaching of beads.
• Microtiter plates with 96 wells must be compatible with XYP
instrument heater block temperature from 35°C to 55°C
(tolerance 0°C to ± 2°C) (95°F to 131°F) when performing
heated assays and using the heater block
