MAPIX Acquisition Software
Every MBI Innoscan 1100 includes MAPIX, Innopsys' integrated image acquisition and spot quantification platform. MAPIX enables automated image acquisition, real-time focus control, and direct quantification of microarray data. Scans performed with InnoQuant can be analyzed directly in MAPIX for streamlined downstream processing.
- Automated slide scanning and batch acquisition
- Real-time image preview and focus monitoring
- Spot quantification and data export
- Direct compatibility with InnoQuant analysis protocols
