5 - 2 PN 89-00002-00-070 Rev. A
photo diode (APD) detectors measure the excitation emission
intensities of the color coding classification dye mixtures inside the
microspheres and a photomultiplier tube detects the excitation
emission intensity of the reporter dye bound to the surface of the
microspheres. High speed digital signal processors and advanced
computer algorithms provide analysis of the xMAP microspheres as
they are processed through the Luminex 100 analyzer. Results of the
analyses are processed and provided in a report format.
