This tab has the following features:
Statistic - To view a particular statistic for analytes in a batch.

NOTE: The statistics displayed change according to the analysis type

selected.

Median (MFI) - The value (detected signal) that is in the middle of the microsphere

population when sorted by reporter value lowest to highest. The median value is much
less sensitive than the mean value to outliers and carryover.

Test Result - The calculated analysis value for quantitative or qualitative assays derived

from standards with known values.

Count - Gated events, if gates are set.

Net MFI (Median Background) - Net MFI median Background.

% CV of microspheres - The measure of relative dispersion within the distribution.

%CV = 100 x Std Dev / Mean

Standard Deviation - For calculating sample variability or dispersion, Luminex uses the

standard deviation formula.

Peak - The value that is equal to the largest number of data points within the distribution.

For example, in data set {1,2,2,3,3,3,4,5}, 3 is the peak because it occurs the most
frequently in the distribution list.
