Region_##(##)
When bead region counts are displayed, there are two
numbers. The first number is the fluorescence
intensity for that analyte. The second number, in
parentheses, is the number of bead events for that
region.
If there are low bead counts for any of the selected
analytes, the following symbols appear:
*
There are fewer than the recommended
50 beads for one or more analytes.
There are fewer than 20 beads for one or
more analytes.
Bead Map
The bead color map is a density dot plot of the events in a reading for a selected
well. Different colored dots in the map represent different numbers of events at
those data points. There are 50 available regions in the bead map.
