Luminex System
Overview
The Luminex analyzer consists of three subsystems: electronic,
fluidic, and optical. In addition, several Luminex XYP system
features are present. The Luminex XYP instrument is a self-
contained system with one access door that contains a plate holder
and a reservoir. A heater plate can be placed in the plate holder.
The following section describes the user-accessible components of
each subsystem, along with the XYP features. Chapter 7,
"Maintenance and Cleaning", describes routine maintenance for each
of these components.
