1 Introduction
Bio-Plex Manager™ MP is an application that allows you to run and maintain your
MAGPIX instrument. MAGPIX monitors the state of your instrument and
recommends routines to keep the instrument in good working order, and it also
recommends maintenance routines to resolve problems. With
Bio-Plex Manager MP, you do not have to keep track of when to calibrate your
instrument or verify the calibration settings. Its easy-to-use interface facilitates
creating and running your protocols. Bio-Plex Manager MP works with any MAGPIX
instrument purchased from any vendor.
You will use two software applications, Bio-Plex Manager MP 1.0 and
Bio-Plex Manager 6.x to run your experiments and analyze your results. Both
software applications are required and are shipped along with the MAGPIX
instrument.
Use Bio-Plex Manager MP to do the following:
 Operate the MAGPIX instrument
 Maintain the instrument
 Define protocol parameters and initiate plate readings
Use Bio-Plex Manager 6.x to do the following:
 Review and optimize results
 Export results to Microsoft Excel or other third-party analysis software
 Export results to Bio-Plex Data Pro™ for analysis of your experiment
(grouping biological replicates and identifying statistically significant
changes)
