xPONENT® Software
Providing instrument control and data analysis in one package
About
xPONENT® is a modular, flexible software package for control of the MAGPIX®, Luminex® 200™, and FLEXMAP 3D®. The software’s graphical user interface (GUI) follows the typical assay workflow but can be customized to meet the needs of a specific laboratory. Navigation wizards and automated routine operations such as startup, shutdown, calibration, and performance verification further enhance system usability and result in increased walk-away time.
Features
- Automated startup, shutdown, and routine maintenance operations
- Enhanced data analysis and report generation capabilities
- Range threshold analysis capability
- Controls for 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
- LIS connectivity via ASTM protocol
- Automation connectivity
- Allelic ratio analysis and graphing capabilities
- Auto-launch of post-acquisition analysis programs
- Batch and protocol settings reports
- Enhanced data archiving
- Key function alerts (e-mail, dialog box, sound)
- Intra-well normalization analysis
- Real-time regression and data analysis
- Low bead count detection and alerts
- Remote web monitoring
- Enhanced import/export functions to simplify data exchange integrated
- Integrated data analysis package
- Multi-batch functionality
- Multi-plate within a batch analysis capability
Benefits
- Modular & Flexible: Designed for ease of use, xPONENT allows all types of users—novice, occasional, and advanced—to set up and run an assay in a minimal amount of time.
- User Customization: xPONENT’s graphical user interface follows the typical assay workflow but can be customized to meet the needs of the specific laboratory. The use of navigation wizards and automation of routine operations such as startup, shutdown, calibration, and performance verification further enhance system usability and result in increased walk-away time. xPONENT® software also enables the use of automation-friendly magnetic MagPlex® microspheres for increased workflow efficiency.
- Powerful Data Analysis: xPONENT offers industry standard curve fitting models for quantitative analysis, allelic ratios for genotyping, and qualitative algorithms for immunology assays as well as data visualization tools. The software can also be configured to automatically launch third-party data analysis programs for advanced statistical data analysis.
xPONENT® software
configurations
xPONENT® software is available with three levels of accessibility:
Basic
The basic xPONENT® software package allows the user to acquire samples, perform analysis, and run system maintenance routines and remote web monitoring. This package includes the ability to calculate allelic ratios to analyze and/or normalize genotyping data.
Secure
The secure xPONENT® package includes all the basic functionality plus allows an administrator to set up user access levels.
21 CFR Part 11
For laboratories working under the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, xPONENT® offers multilevel user management, a full audit trail, electronic records, and electronic signatures.
In addition to the access levels listed above, there are two additional licensable modules that add specific functions:
Automation connectivity
The automation module, along with a device driver, enables communication between the reader and a front-end automation platform. Luminex device drivers are offered by many automation providers. For more information on available drivers, please contact Luminex Technical Support.
LIS connectivity
This module allows communication with an external Laboratory Information System (LIS) database by allowing the export of patient result data and the import of patient sample information in ASTM format. Connection to your LIS system may require the use of middleware. For more information on middleware solutions, please contact Luminex Technical Support.
