Performance
Specifications
Speed • 933 MHz Intel® Pentium® III processor or faster
• Memory: 256 MB RAM
• USB communications link for fast data transfer
• Automatic transfer of assay templates and new reagent
information into the system using a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk or
large capacity read/write CD
• Luminex 100 IS system installation < 4 hours
• System calibration < 10 minutes
• System controls < 10 minutes
• Barcode reader entry of sample IDs
• Automatic post analysis
• Analyze one 96-well plate/hour depending on manufacturer’s kit
• Up to 100 xMAP microsphere sets per sample
• Sheath flowrate 90 µL/sec. ± 5 µL
• Sample injection rate into detector area 1 µL/sec. ± 0.05 µL
• System warmup 30 minutes. Systems that remain inactive for at
least four hours will require a warm-up to restart the lasers. After
acquiring sample, running system calibrators, running system
controls, and warming up the instrument, the system resets the
four-hour internal clock.
