Reagents
The following items are necessary to run the Luminex 200 system.
They are not provided by Luminex.
• Household bleach
• 70% isopropanol or 70% ethanol
• Mild detergent
• Distilled water
Software Luminex Data Collector software provides complete control of the
Luminex analyzer and performs real-time digital analysis of assays.
The Luminex 200 system is preloaded with the Luminex software.
However, we supply a software CD in case you need to reinstall the
software.
This software requires a dedicated system. Unauthorized additional

Performance
Specifications
Speed • 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
• 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.
• Internal sample carry over: < 0.9%
• Soluble background fluorescence emission at 575 nm
automatically subtracted from fluorescence intensity values
