Regulated Device
- The BeadXpress system is the first IlluminaDx in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device to earn FDA 510(k) clearance. It is cleared for use as an in vitro diagnostic only with FDA-cleared VeraCode tests. All other uses of the BeadXpress system are limited to Research Use Only.
The BeadXpress system consists of the BeadXpress Reader and VeraScan software. Due to its versatile assay design and high accuracy, the BeadXpress Reader is the optimal solution for small, high-throughput clinical diagnostic and reference laboratories seeking a highly reproducible system capable of performing multiplexed-based molecular diagnostic testing.
The BeadXpress Reader is a high-throughput, two-color laser detection system, that identifies the unique holographic codes inscribed in VeraCode microbeads and detects the signal intensity associated with each bead. It draws up to eight samples at a time from a standard 96-well plate or 8-well strip and introduces them into an eight-chambered transparent groove plate at the bottom of the system's fluidic cell. During scanning, the BeadXpress Reader compiles a virtual representation of the 96-well plate, acquires fluorescence data, and associated code data for each microbead, and exports the data for downstream analysis. Because assays developed with VeraCode microbeads typically include up to 30 replicates of each bead type, the data generated by the BeadXpress Reader is particularly robust.
