Multi-Assay Protocols
Bio-Plex Manager 6.1 has the ability to run multiple assays at one time. You
describe each assay, using Describe Protocol, in the same way as describing
single assays.
If you have chosen New Multi-Assay Protocol from the File menu, the
information you enter for each assay becomes its own tab, as outlined in red
in the figure below.

When an assay tab is clicked, the window displays all information connected
with the corresponding independent assay.
The assay number of the assay being displayed also appears in the title bar.
Uses for Multi-Assay Protocols
This functionality allows you to test the same, or different, samples with two or
more separate assays simultaneously. You can also run the same assay under
different conditions; for example, when you are in the optimization phase of
assay development.
