Luminex xPONENT for MAGPIX - Manual (Page 125)

RP1 Refers to the dyes bound to the surface of the xMAP microsphere. Also
see reporter channel.
sample The mixture of assay components (microspheres, reporter, patient
dilutant) that is analyzed.
sample probe The probe, or needle, on the Luminex analyzer that acquires sample
from the 96-well plate.
sample reaction The reaction that occurs between reagents and beads.
signal Detectable measurement unit of the reporter molecule.
standards microspheres,
assay Assay standards are substances of known concentrations used to derive
a standard curve with which unknown samples and controls are
compared to determine their concentration or quantity. See control
microspheres, assay.
suspension Solution consisting of homogeneously dispersed microspheres in an
aqueous medium.
system controls Include the MagPlex xMAP reporter and classification control
microspheres. They are used to verify the calibration of the Luminex
analyzer.
test Each test represents an analyte and corresponds to a bead set. Each
bead set falls into a particular location on the bead map.
verifier microspheres,
assay Used to verify standards within the kit. Tells you that the curve or
thresholds are correct.
verifier microspheres,
system xMAP microspheres used to verify the calibration and optical integrity for
the Luminex analyzer.
xMAP See Luminex xMAP microsphere set.
