Multiplex

We specialize in the development of high-performance multiplex microarray assays that allow for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes or biomarkers in a single test. Whether you’re working in diagnostics or the pharmaceutical sector, multiplexing offers a cost-effective, time-saving way to analyze multiple markers in one run. Our multiplex platforms deliver richer and more reliable data from minimal sample volumes, supporting applications such as companion diagnostics, early disease detection, biomarker validation, and drug development.

Why choose Multiplex Microarray assays?

More Data. Less Sample. Lower Cost. Multiplex microarray assays provide comprehensive insight by analyzing multiple targets simultaneously. This technique improves diagnostic confidence, reduces reagent consumption, and minimizes the need for large sample volumes. Instead of conducting multiple expensive single-analyte tests, a single multiplex assay can provide a broader, more informative overview in one streamlined workflow. It’s an ideal solution for:

  • Screening multiple biomarkers in complex biological samples
  • Comparing binding molecules or capture arms for specific analytes
  • Detecting infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, allergies, and more
  • Developing companion diagnostics alongside targeted therapies

What this means for you

With multiplex microarray assays, you can achieve faster, more cost-effective results without compromising accuracy. A single assay delivers comprehensive data that would otherwise require multiple tests, improving diagnostic confidence while reducing reagent use, labor, and sample requirements. Expert support in assay design, combined with robust lot-to-lot consistency, ensures reliable performance. The platform also offers flexibility across a wide range of sample volumes and can be easily scaled to support high-throughput projects with over 1,000 arrays per run.

Cutting-Edge technology: sciFLEXARRAYER S12 System

Biocult leverages the advanced sciFLEXARRAYER S12 system—an automated, non-contact, electric dispensing platform that ensures highly accurate, reproducible microarray creation. Designed for precision, the system can handle a wide range of assay components including nucleotides, antibodies, and antigens. Key benefits of our microarray printing technology include:

  • Position-dependent droplet placement for unmatched accuracy
  • Spray-block system to eliminate background and non-specific binding
  • Volume control from picolitres to microliters for maximum flexibility
  • High throughput capacity, enabling up to > 1,000 arrays in a single run

This robust system allows us to create complex arrays with exceptional quality and reproducibility—ensuring consistent results across all stages of assay development.

From concept to validated assay: end-to-end development

We provide full service multiplex microarray assay development—from early feasibility through optimization and verification—so you can move confidently from idea to implementation. Our experts bring deep experience in assay design, surface chemistry, spotting parameters, and reagent selection to ensure signal specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. Throughout development, advanced imaging systems and software monitor spot morphology and placement. Unique identifiers on each microarray and position-dependent deposition deliver precise traceability. We iterate methodically on capture and detection strategies, buffer conditions, blocking, and washing to minimize background and maximize dynamic range—driving robust, lot-to-lot performance.
