RESUMO
Flex-Array® is a novel multi-well system that extends the key features of current high-performance microscope slides used in advanced staining techniques. The Flex-Array® system facilitates the immobilization of FFPE cell or tissue sections onto a multi-well array for the subsequent performance of single analyte (IHC) or multiplexed immunohistochemistry (MIHC). Additionally, the Flex-Array® device is compatible with fluorescent and colorimetric in situ hybridization (FISH) and adds new capabilities such as replicate analysis, quantitative ELISA-like assays and microdissection-free nucleic acid extraction. The Flex-Array® facilitates rapid, contextually rich and high-precision multi-modal analysis of FFPE cells and tissues at a significant reduction in testing, data acquisition and analysis costs.
