Bio-Plex MCV Plate IV
Bio-Plex Manager 5.0 and later requires the use of the Bio-Plex MCV
(Maintenance, Calibration and Validation) Plate IV. This plate contains wells
marked for the different types of fluids used in validation, washing, calibration,
and other functions. The Bio-Plex MCV Plate IV has been modified from the
previous MCV plate to work with Bio-Plex Validation Kit 4.0 and its Reporter
and Classify bead sets. It also includes two open needle wells for adjusting
needle heights for microplates or PCR plates.
NOTE: Bio-Plex Manager 5.0 and later require the use of the Bio-Plex MCV
Plate IV, the Bio-Plex Validation Kit 4.0, and the Bio-Plex Calibration Kit.

When a particular procedure such as calibration requires you to add solutions
to the Bio-Plex MCV Plate IV, the dialog box describing the procedure
includes a diagram of the MCV Plate IV with the wells to be loaded highlighted
in blinking yellow.
