CAUTION:
Correct sample probe height is critical to successful sample
acquisition and calibration. Problems with the sample probe can
lead to fluid leaks and inhibit sample acquisition. To adjust the
height of the sample probe, follow the steps above.

System Initialization
xPONENT for MAGPIX contains a pre-defined startup routine to prepare the analyzer for data
acquisition. This section describes calibration and performance verification of the system.
Calibrator MagPix beads are used to normalize the settings for the reporter channel and
classification channels. Verification MagPix beads are used to verify calibration and optical
integrity of the system. Fluidics beads are used to assess well-to-well carryover.
Once calibrated, the values remain until you recalibrate. You can track system calibration and
verification results through the Calibration report. Target value information for calibration and
verification beads is available on the Luminex website at
