Custom OpenArray plates

The custom option offers you the flexibility you need to design your own panels using our 1.3 million TaqMan Gene Expression Assays, 4.5 million predesigned genotyping assays—including 2,700 inventoried drug-metabolizing enzyme (DME) assays—or your own custom TaqMan assays. Custom OpenArray plates include a suite of 11 formats to address your sample throughput needs (see Table 1).

Table 1: Custom OpenArray™ plate format

Custom OpenArray plates for the QuantStudio 12K Flex system are offered in 11 formats to provide flexible solutions for configuring your plates for gene expression, miRNA, or genotyping analysis.

OpenArray flexible-content panels

OpenArray flexible-content panels are pre-configured plates of TaqMan Gene Expression Assays or TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays for a specific pathway, disease, or research focus area. The assays are auto-populated into the custom design tool and the panel can be modified to include or exclude specific assays. This flexible format enables more precise control and simplified assay setup.

OpenArray fixed-content panels

OpenArray fixed-content pathway panels are pre-configured plates of TaqMan Gene Expression or SNP genotyping assays for a specific biological process, pathway, or disease state.

  • Screen more than 600 genes in your disease-related pathways
  • High-quality, fixed-content, off-the-shelf panels
  • No minimum order required—shipping as fast as 1-2 days
  • Proven, market-leading TaqMan real-time PCR chemistry
  • Pre-designed, wet-lab validated gene targets
