Software
Luminex IS 2.3 software provides complete control of the system
and performs data analysis. Your Luminex 200 system is preloaded
with the Luminex software. However, we supply a software CD
should you need to reinstall the software.
This software requires a dedicated system. Unauthorized additional
software is prohibited and may result in improper operation of the
system.

Performance
Specifications
Speed • Speed: greater than or equal to1.7 GHz Intel® Pentium® IV
processor with 256 MB RAM
• USB communications link for fast data transfer
• Automatic transfer of assay templates and new reagent
information into the system via a large capacity read/write CD
• Installation: < 4 hours
• System calibration: < 10 minutes
• System controls: < 10 minutes
• Barcode reader entry of sample IDs
• Automatic post-analysis
• Analyze one 96-well plate/hour depending on manufacturer’s kit
• Up to 100 xMAP microsphere sets per sample
• System warmup: 30 minutes. Systems that remain inactive for at
least four hours will require a warm-up to restart the lasers. After
acquiring sample, running system calibrators, running system
controls, and warming up the instrument, the system resets the
four-hour internal clock.
Accuracy and Precision • Sample uptake volume: ± 5%
• Classification of xMAP microspheres: > 80%
• Misclassification of xMAP microspheres: ≤ 2% - may vary by
xMAP microsphere product lines. Refer to the specific product
information sheet for further details.
• Temperature control: 0°C to + 2°C of target
