MPAs are validated for use on MicroTip capable VITROS^® Systems*, through a collaboration between select, contracted Strategic Vendors and a dedicated team of Ortho scientists and professionals.

MPAs utilize the User Defined Assay (UDA) Feature with 20 open chemistry channels available for programming.

VITROS System technologies extend to MPA and UDA testing:

• VITROS MicroSensor™
• VITROS Intellicheck^®
• VITROS SMART Metering

*Check the Assay Application Sheets for specific VITROS System validation information.
