Definitions
See the Glossary in the Luminex 100 IS User Manual Version 2.2 for
complete detailed definitions.
Analyte. Any substance which is detected through assay analysis.
Typically, each bead set represents a single analyte. In this
application, there is one test or bead set associated with an analyte.
Bead Set. A set of x MAP microspheres that have a uniquely
identifiable ratio of two classification dyes. The unique ratio is
identified by a unique spectral address.
Control. Include controls in every batch to assess the reliability of
sample results.
Product. A group of standards and controls that you use to create a
template. Products are analogous to “reagent kits”. They are used in
the template’s definition for the multi-analyte assays that will be
performed.
Standard (also called assay calibrators). Use standards to generate a
standard curve for quantitative testing or to set thresholds for
qualitative testing. Quantitative standard curves and qualitative
thresholds are then used to determine unknown sample values.
Template. A sequence of commands and preset assay information.
You must define all the standards and controls used in a template as
a single product.
Test. Each test represents an analyte and corresponds to a bead set
which is represented by a bead ID.
