PlexBio’s Precision Image Code (πCode™) MicroDiscs are circular, magnetic discs that are able to generate over 16,000 distinct image patterns for multiplexing applications. Virtually any probe used in molecular diagnostics can be conjugated to πCode MicroDiscs, including DNA, RNA, antigens, antibodies, proteins or chemical compounds.

The liquid biopsy approach, which uses blood and other bodily fluids that are more easily obtained, has the benefit of being non-invasive and less expensive than the traditional biopsy approach where samples are removed from the patient surgically or by needle aspiration.

PlexBio has created multiplex allele specific PCR panels that can specifically detect DNA and RNA mutations, amplifications and translocations useful for clinical guideline-based therapeutic selection. The use of SelectAmp technology enables selective amplification of mutant DNA to enhance detection sensitivity.
