A Broad Range of Assays to Meet Your Needs
PLEX-ID assays are available in three forms. These include Broad Assays that have been developed to identify a wide range of bacteria, virus, or fungi. Targeted Assays that have been designed to identify a specific set of organisms, and Characterization Assays that have been designed to provide strain-or-drug resistance/virulence information for a specific species.
