5. When the beads are running and appear focused and centered, click Start All Calibrations and Tests at the bottom
of the ASSIST view. The calibrations and tests will run and the results saved to the database.
NOTE: Instrument calibrations may also be run individually by selecting a particular procedure under Calibrations
or Tests. Next to each is a green or red rectangle. If the procedure fails, it turns red. If a procedure fails, repeat it. If
it fails twice,
or call your Luminex Field Service Representative.
6. When the calibrations and tests have all passed, close the ASSIST window. This window can be re-opened under
the Instrument menu.
NOTE: If adjustments are made to the instrument in order to pass ASSIST, repeat all calibrations and tests to save
the new settings to the database.
