Calibration

Select existing control numbers from the pulldown list, and the target values
for the control numbers appear in the appropriate fields.
When you receive a new Bio-Plex Calibration Kit, you must add the new CAL1
and CAL2 control numbers and target values to the Calibrate dialog. These
numbers are printed on the bottles containing the beads.
NOTE: It is critical that you enter the correct target values for your CAL1 and
CAL2 calibrators. Entering incorrect values results in an incorrectly calibrated
array reader, which adversely impacts assay results.
To add a new CAL1 control number, click the Add button under CAL1 Control
Number in the Calibrate dialog. The Add New CAL1 Control Number dialog
box opens.
