A multiplex panel is a molecular assay that detects multiple pathogen targets in one PCR reaction. These panels improve lab efficiency, reduce cost per test, and provide faster time to results compared to traditional singleplex PCR reactions.
| Feature | Multiplex Reaction | Singleplex Reaction |
| Targets per Reaction | 4 or 5 | 1 |
| Cost of MasterMix per Target | Low | High |
| Throughput per Instrument | 5X | 1X |
| Throughput per Technician | 5X | 1X |
| Internal Amplification Control | Yes | No |
| Cost per Target | Low | High |
Get the flexibility you need with:
Large Panels (8–34 targets) are ideal for reflex tests and expanded data gathering. For example, our antibiotic resistance panel is a key follow-up to positive pathogen detection.
Large multiplex panels include pathogen targets associated with:
Small Multiplex Panels (4–5 targets) are ideal for labs with target reimbursement restrictions and also offer fast customization.
Additional target options include all of the above and:
Multiplex panels are tools that detect multiple pathogens in a single PCR well. Each BlazedX panel includes primers and probes for several targets, increasing efficiency, decreasing the amount of overall required sample, and reducing cost.
Yes. BlazedX offers fully customizable panels to meet your lab’s unique needs, including emerging pathogens or region-specific targets.
Our multiplex PCR panels are compatible with Bio-Rad and ABI qPCR systems. You choose.
Most standard orders are shipped within 24 hours using overnight delivery. Emergency reserves are also available upon request.
In general it will take 4-6 weeks, but this can be faster in some cases (e.g. switching fluorescent dyes).
Large panels detect up to 34 targets and are ideal for broad screening and reflex testing. Small panels focus on 4–5 pathogens and are easier to validate.
