Partnering the new xMAP® INTELLIFLEX Platform with Partner Software: 5 Packages to Improve Your Data Analysis

Posted on by Heather Darby

The launch of the new xMAP® INTELLIFLEX platform marks a reinvigoration of xMAP® Technology, guided and informed by the voice of our customers. During the development process of the INTELLIFLEX System, we worked with current xMAP users to understand how they use xMAP Technology and what features they’d like to see in the next generation of xMAP Systems. Based on the responses, it became clear that analytical packages—particularly those provided by our Partner companies—are a critical component of data processing.

To this end, INTELLIFLEX Software, which comes on the integrated PC of the xMAP INTELLIFLEX platform, was developed to optimize workflows and allow users to quickly master the platform. Combined with the wealth of information INTELLIFLEX collects, users can gather performance insights at a glance and then export that data in a customizable output format, or they can use the pre-programmed xPONENT-format output setting that creates a file-ready to import into analytical packages familiar to existing xMAP users. With INTELLIFLEX, we wanted to provide a solution that could fit the needs of every scientist in every lab, no matter how rich or lean your data is.

Several of our Partners have analytical packages that support the analysis of data collected using their kits, which also serve as open platforms for analyzing multiplex data from xMAP Systems. Here, we’ve provided a list of software currently available from our Partners that we tested with data generated on xMAP instruments, including the INTELLIFLEX Platform:

  1. Belysa™ from Millipore: Belysa™ 1.0.19 imports xPONENT-format raw data in .csv files from the INTELLIFLEX platform, as well as from MAGPIX, Luminex 100/200, and FLEXMAP 3D Systems.
  2. Bio-Plex Manager from Bio-Rad: Bio-Plex Manager 6.2 imports xPONENT-format raw data in .csv files from the INTELLIFLEX instrument, as well as from MAGPIX, Luminex 100/200, and FLEXMAP 3D Systems.
  3. MILLIPLEX™ Analyst from Millipore: Analyst v5.1 imports xPONENT-format raw data in .csv files from validated xMAP instruments, including the new INTELLIFLEX instrument, as well as MAGPIX®, Luminex® 100/200™, and FLEXMAP 3D™ Systems.
  4. ProcartaPlex™ Analysis cloud application from ThermoFisher Scientific: This application imports xPONENT-format raw data in .csv files from ProcartaPlex™ kits run on validated xMAP instruments and analyzes it based on pre-loaded kit and lot-specific values.
  5. QuantiGene Plex Data Analysis cloud application from ThermoFisher Scientific: This application imports xPONENT-format raw data in .csv files from QuantiGene Plex kits run on validated xMAP instruments and analyzes based on user-designated normalization genes.

Along with analytical packages, INTELLIFLEX Software is designed to make it easier than ever to focus on the data you want by allowing you to customize which data points are included in each file, easily aggregate data from multiple plates, and navigate your results in an intuitive file format.
