Creating a Multi-Assay Protocol
1. Choose New Multi-Assay Protocol from the File menu. This action
creates two tabs on the left pane, called Assay 1 and Assay 2.
2. Enter the protocol settings for Assay 1, then save.
3. Click on the Assay 2 tab, currently located at the bottom of the left
pane. It will jump to a position under the tab for Assay 1.
4. Enter the protocol settings for the second assay into the right hand
pane, then Save.
NOTE: Results of multi-assay protocols are always stored in separate results
files. Each assay results file is stored under its own descriptive name, such as
Bio-Plex Pro Human Group II.rbx.
NOTE: Choosing the New Results from Protocol command from the File menu
will generate results only for the assay that is currently open.
Changing a Protocol from Single to
Multi-Assay
A Multi-Assay Protocol can also be created from a single assay protocol.
1. Open the single assay protocol and right click on the Protocol Settings
tab in the left pane of the Protocol window.
2. Select Add Assay. A message will open telling you that a new Multi-
Assay Protocol must be created.
3. Select Yes, then complete the protocol settings for each assay.
