empty wells in front of the new starting well now appear red in
the Batch Setup box or white in the Multi-batch Setup box.
When you process this batch, the system begins acquiring data
from the well indicated.

multi-batch. There can be empty wells between batches.
Assign Sample
Dilution Factors
You must indicate the sample dilution factor so the sample analysis
in quantitative tests is accurate. The system multiplies the result by
the dilution factor for reporting. You must assign dilution factors
as you create a batch.
Do not use dilution factors for qualitative testing.
You define the dilution factors on a sample-by-sample, or patient-by-
patient basis. The list displays each sample’s accession number and
dilution factor in relation to its well position.
‹ To assign sample dilution factors:
1. Click New Batch from the File Menu or Home tab. An Open
Template dialog box appears.
2. Select the desired template and click Select. A Luminex Batch
Setup dialog box appears. See Figure 67.
3. Highlight or select the item that uses the dilution factor that you
are setting. You cannot change any item that is grayed out or
locked into the command list.
