5 Analyzing Results
Bio-Plex Manager™ MP is used to create and run your protocols. Once the plate
has been read, you can review the fluorescence intensities of the analytes you
selected and use the bead map to confirm that the bead sets are correctly selected
and identified. Further analysis of your results is done in Bio-Plex
Manager 6.x. The
Bio-Plex
Manager MP results are exported to Bio-Plex Manager 6.x. For more
information on exporting your results, see
Exporting Data to Bio-Plex Manager 6.x
on page 39.
Note: Analysis of Bio-Plex Manager MP results is supported only with Bio-Plex
Manager 6.0 or higher. Earlier versions of Bio-Plex Manager are not supported.
The following are differences between Bio-Plex Manager MP and
Bio-Plex
Manager 6.x:
 The Bio-Plex Manager MP results cannot be viewed in a histogram or bead
map in either software application. (Bio-Plex Manager 6.x results can be
viewed in both a histogram and bead map in the Bio-Plex Manager 6.x
software application.)
 Region events are calculated differently in Bio-Plex Manager MP and
Bio-Plex
Manager 6.x.
 In Bio-Plex Manager MP, the total region events includes all beads within
the 50 regions whether or not they were selected for analysis.
 In Bio-Plex Manager 6.x, the total region events includes only beads in the
selected regions.
The same data result will reflect this difference in total region events when
viewed in the two software programs.
