Bio-Plex XML Export

You can export all the information in a Results file as an XML-formatted text
file. This export option generates a comprehensive export of individual results
files in an XML format. This format is useful for import into LIMS databases,
and to perform data analysis using other applications.

NOTE: XML is a self-describing, universal file format compatible with a wide
range of applications.

The XML document generated by Bio-Plex Manager includes all the data
stored in the Results file, including but not limited to:

Run parameters, including DD gate settings, instrument
temperature settings, data limits, bead regions, etc.

Run conditions, including time stamps per well, error conditions
during the run, actual temperature during acquisition by well, etc.

Complete data values and calculations (mean, median, standard
deviation, coefficient of variation, etc.) per well

Complete protocol information, including analytes selected, plate
formatting, standard values, run settings, etc.

Raw bead event data (when selected)

Standard curve information, including mathematical models used,
how well the data fit the curve, etc.

Instrument and software information, including version numbers

All logged events associated with the data file for CFR 21 Part 11
