Encountering and Resolving Low Bead Counts
Bio-Plex Manager MP notifies you when a low bead count is detected:
 The well with the low bead count displays a warning symbol.
 A warning symbol is displayed for the region in the Raw Data table if a low
bead count occurred for that particular analyte.
You can specify that Bio-Plex Manager MP stop the run if it encounters three or
more consecutive wells with low bead count of less than 20. In the Run Settings
dialog box, select “Stop runs with low bead count.” If a low bead count is
encountered, the run is stopped and a dialog box appears with a suggested
solution.
In addition, a warning symbol is displayed in the affected wells in the plate template
and for the applicable analytes in the raw data table.
