Customizing an Existing Assay Panel
Bio-Plex Manager MP provides a list of all the assay panels it manufactures along
with related analytes. In many instances you will take one of these panels and use it
as is. If your experiment uses only a subset of the analytes, Bio-Rad recommends
you edit the assay panel and delete any analytes you are not interested in and save
the panel with a new name. This customized panel makes it easier to run repeated
experiments using the same panel. For more information on editing an existing
assay panel, see Editing an Assay Panel on page 47 .
Creating an Assay Panel by Combining Existing
Panels
You can create a new assay panel by combining existing panels. Once this panel is
created, you can cull the list and delete any analytes you are not interested in.

2. Click Manage Assay Panels.
3. In the Manage Assay Panels dialog box, select the panels from the Assay Panel
list.
Note: You can select up to four assay panels.

5. In the New Assay Panel dialog box, enter a name for your assay panel.
6. Use the Add and Delete buttons to add or remove analytes from the list.
Tip: Click the number of the analyte to select the entire row.
7. Use the Up and Down buttons to reorder the analytes.
8. When you are done making changes to the panel, click OK.
In the Manage Assay Panels dialog box, the new panel appears at the top of
the list.
