Multiplex Micro-Array Assay Development Services

At Future Diagnostics, 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 and time-saving approach to complex testing needs. Instead of running separate tests for each individual marker, our multiplex platforms enable parallel analysis—providing economical, richer, more reliable data from minimal sample volumes. This is especially valuable in areas such as companion diagnostics, early disease detection, biomarker validation, and drug development, where precision and efficiency are essential.

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. 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

Instead of conducting multiple expensive single-analyte tests, a single multiplex assay can provide a broader, more informative overview in one streamlined workflow.

What this means for you

With multiplex microarray assays, you get answers faster and at lower cost—without compromising accuracy.

  • One test delivers the data you would normally need several tests for
  • Clear, comprehensive results that improve diagnostic confidence
  • Cost savings through reduced reagents, labor, and sample demand
  • Expert design input on chemistry, spotting, and reagents
  • Assays engineered for robust performance—lot to lot
  • Flexibility to handle nanoliter to microliter volumes
  • Scale easily: over 1,000 arrays per run for high-throughput projects

Cutting-Edge Technology: sciFLEXARRAYER S12 System

Future Diagnostics 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.
