Multiplex analyser IVD, laboratory

Multiplex analysers are advanced laboratory instruments designed to simultaneously detect multiple chemical or biological markers in a single clinical sample. They use immunological techniques, such as antibodies on solid surfaces or micro-particles, to identify and quantify targets like proteins or pathogens, often with automated or semi-automated processing for high-throughput testing.

These devices are typically regulated as in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and may require compliance with standards like ISO 13485 or FDA 21 CFR Part 820, depending on the jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied as standalone systems with integrated detection methods (e.g., chemiluminescence or fluorescence) and software for data analysis, often used in clinical, research, or diagnostic settings.
