Next generation genetic analysis system

The new MassARRAY Analyzer 4 system brings the power of mass spectrometry, robust molecular biology, and advanced data analysis software to meet the needs of high- and low-throughput laboratories. The system provides increased throughput, faster time-to-results, and the ability to cost effectively run from tens to thousands of samples - making the Analyzer 4 system an ideal genetic analysis system for use in basic and translational research laboratories.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Mass spectrometry-based detection system for sensitive, accurate, and rapid analyses
  • 384 and 96-well options for high- and low-throughput research applications
  • Easy-to-use multiplexed assay design and optimization software saves research time and helps maximize efficiency
  • Improved chip scan rate for faster time-to-results
  • Robust, label-free primer extension chemistries saves money
  • Small footprint and built-in computer to preserve valuable bench space
  • Enhanced remote diagnostics capability maximizes system operating time

High Performance

Highly accurate MALDI-TOF-based detection provides unparalleled specificity and sensitivity for studies of genetic variation including somatic mutation detection in heterogeneous samples. And the increased chip scan speed coupled with the robust detection system gets you to results faster with minimal system down time.

Maximum Flexibility

The highly scalable MassARRAY Analyzer 4 platform has the flexibility to analyze any combination of SNPs and samples for medium to high-throughput applications, making it ideally suited for candidate gene analysis downstream of next generation sequencing and whole genome association studies.
