Microtiter Plate
The Run Batch tab shows an image representing the microtiter plate
where you place the samples. The system analyzes microtiter plate
samples in the following order. Vertically, from top-to-bottom within
the column and left-to-right after each column. See Figure 31.

Luminex XYP Instrument
Reservoir
The removable Luminex XYP instrument reservoir (4 mL) holds the
fluids used in system maintenance operations, such as washing,
draining, or sanitizing. The Luminex XYP instrument reservoir is
located at the top right of the Luminex XYP instrument plate holder.
The vertical rectangle to the right of the microtiter plate represents
the Luminex XYP instrument reservoir on the Run Batch Tab. See
Figure 30.
Temperature and
Pressure Gauges
Proper temperature and sheath pressure are essential for optimal
system performance. These must be stable before you calibrate and
verify the system. The system performs temperature compensation
on all samples.
The XYP heater temperature measures the internal Luminex XYP
instrument plate temperature.
The DD temperature measures the doublet discriminator temperature.
DD temperature shifting usually indicates a need for system
recalibration. If you see that your DD temperatures are out of range
(indicated when the DD Temperature thermometer representation
turns red), recalibrate the instrument. An out of range temperature
logs an error, but does not halt the acquisition.
Refer to Figure 30 and Figure 32 to identify the temperature and
sheath pressure gauges.
Note: If you have not
calibrated, the arrows showing
the temperature range for the
DD Temperature thermometer
both appear at the bottom of
the thermometer, and the
thermometer appears in red.
