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. An assay calibrator that is used to generate a standard curve
for quantitative testing or to set thresholds for qualitative testing. Use
standards to calculate the results of an unknown sample.
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.
