Each analyte is listed by name and region number. The region number refers
to the region of a fluorescent color map used to identify the analyte's bead
set. Each bead set is embedded with specific quantities of two fluorescent
dyes; the combination of these fluorochromes, as detected by the array
reader, places the bead set within a unique region on the color map, thereby
identifying the set and its associated analyte.
