1. Assign standards to columns 1 and 2, with the highest
concentration in row A and the lowest concentration in row H.
2. Assign the blank to wells A3 and A4. The blank should consist of
standard diluent alone and be processed in the same manner as
sample and standard wells. Note that Bio-Plex Manager automatically
subtracts the blank (B) MFI value from all other assay wells.
3. User-specific controls, as well as the quality controls supplied in the
kits, are assigned to wells in columns 3 and 4.
4. The remainder of the plate is available for samples.
