Bio-Plex XML Export
You can export all the information in a Results file as an XML-formatted text
file. This export option generates a comprehensive export of individual results
files in an XML format. This format is useful for import into LIMS databases,
and to perform data analysis using other applications.
NOTE: XML is a self-describing, universal file format compatible with a wide
range of applications.
The XML document generated by Bio-Plex Manager includes all the data
stored in the Results file, including but not limited to:
• Run parameters, including DD gate settings, instrument
temperature settings, data limits, bead regions, etc.
• Run conditions, including time stamps per well, error conditions
during the run, actual temperature during acquisition by well, etc.
• Complete data values and calculations (mean, median, standard
deviation, coefficient of variation, etc.) per well
• Complete protocol information, including analytes selected, plate
formatting, standard values, run settings, etc.
• Raw bead event data (when selected)
• Standard curve information, including mathematical models used,
how well the data fit the curve, etc.
• Instrument and software information, including version numbers
• All logged events associated with the data file for CFR 21 Part 11
