About Standards
Standards are analytes of known concentration. Standards are used to generate a
standard curve of values using one of the several regression methods included in
Bio-Plex Manager 6.x. This curve is used to calculate concentrations of your
unknowns.
In Bio-Plex Manager MP, you define your standard lot, including the starting
concentration for each of the analytes. This definition is stored and it can be reused
each time you run a plate with those analytes.
