Background Samples
Background samples are commonly used in the assays process in the
Luminex 100 IS 2.2 system. Although recommended, the discretion
on whether to use or not is left to the assay or kit developer. If the
background samples are to be included they have been defined in the
assay template.
Background samples are samples with no active test substance. The
system uses background samples to remove assay background noise
from the sample results.
Typical background samples contain coupled beads, assay buffer,
detection reagents, and reporter fluorophore. Background samples do
not contain target analytes.
If the background sample is designated accordingly, the system
subtracts the sample’s reported fluorescence from all samples in a
batch to report net fluorescence intensity (MFI).
If a batch contains more than one background sample, the
flourescence values of the two background samples are averaged
Note: Once you choose to
clear the batch and verify that
you want to continue with the
command, you can regain the
cleared batch if it has not been
run by clicking Open Batch.
