9.6 Generating a Validation Report

Procedure

The results from each validation procedure are sent to a validation log in Bio-Plex
Manager 3.0. This log may be used to create individual reports as well as track
multiple validation results over time. Each type of validation is logged into a
separate view: optics validation, fluidics validation, reporter validation and classify
validation. You may maneuver through each of the views using either the main
menu items or the toolbar icons. The specifications for each control number of
the validation kit are also shown in a separate window below the results. If All
validation was selected, an entry matching the specific date and time will appear
in each of the validation logs. All of the validation results for a specific date and
time will be included in a created report. The entire log may be printed by
selecting Print then Results from the main menu.

A general procedure for creating a report from the Validation log is shown below.
For more detailed instructions on the use of the validation log, consult the Bio-
Plex Manager 3.0 user manual.

1. Open Bio-Plex Manager 3.0 software by clicking on the application icon on

the desktop.

2. Select View from the main menu then select Validation Log from the

pulldown menu. The validation log will open.
