Importing an Assay Panel
The Import feature can be used to share assay panels among users working on
different computers or to add new Bio-Rad assay panels. Once the panel is
imported, you can edit the panel or select it in your protocol.
You import an .xpnl file that contains one or more assay panels. If the imported
panel has the same name as an existing panel, Copy is appended to the name to
distinguish the imported assay panel from the existing one; for example, Assay
Panel - Copy.

2. Click Manage Assay Panels.
3. From the Manage Assay Panels dialog box, click Import.
4. In the Import Assay Panels dialog box, navigate to the file you want to import.

panels appear at the top of the Manage Assay Panels list.
