MAP Technology

You may direct the system to acquire samples in replicate regardless
of batch type. For qualitative batches, replicate values are averaged
and the reported interpretation is determined from this replicate
average.

Replicates in quantitative batches are based on a standard curve that
is generated by either the “Fit of all standards” or “Mean of
replicates”. The chosen curve fit is defined when defining an assay
template. The default is “Fit of all standards”. Unknown samples are
calculated from the standard curve. Replicate samples are averaged
to determine the reported quantitative result denoted as “AVG”.

The system can analyze only batches that it acquires using qualitative
or quantitative templates. It does not analyze acquisitions using Data
Collection Only or Maintenance templates.

For an overview of the Analysis window, see page 21.

Data Analysis Settings

You can select how the sample data results are displayed in the
analysis graph on the Standards tab.Use the Customization dialog
box and the Graph Menu (right-click menu) to define the general
features of the graph, axis settings and increments, fonts, colors, and
styles presented in the graph representing the sample data results.
You also can export the analysis to a graphic, file, clipboard, and so
on.



To modify the general features of the Standards tab graph:

1. Click Data Analysis.

2. Double-click the desired batch. The Analysis window opens

displaying the Standards tab.

3. Double-click anywhere within the graph to display the

Customization dialog box. See Figure 40. Notice across the
dialog box are five tabs: General, Axis, Font, Color, and Style.
Also notice that there are six buttons along the bottom of the
dialog box. They are the OK, Cancel, Apply, Original, Export,
and Maximize buttons.

Note:

Luminex does not

recommend performing Data
Analysis while the Luminex
System is performing data
acquisition on another batch.
