Luminex 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 DVD 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.
