Here are possible causes and solutions for this issue:
- Check the protocol settings (make sure you select the correct DD settings).
- Check the level of sheath fluid and empty the waste.
- Before acquiring the plate, run calibration and verification beads on the Luminex instrument.

Here are possible causes and solutions for this issue:
This usually indicates that the beads have been photobleached. This problem can also be caused by exposing the beads to organic solvents. Unfortunately, the assay will have to be repeated because the beads cannot be restored. The beads must be protected from light and organic solvents.
Alternatively, the instrument may be off in its measurements or you may have a calibration issue. Call the manufacturer for a service appointment.

This indicates that an incorrect buffer was used for the final step. The Wash Solution provided in the kit must be used for washing the beads and the Reading Buffer should be used for resuspending the beads before loading them into the Luminex instrument. The osmolarity of the solution will impact the size of the bead, and any change in the bead size will alter detection by the instrument.

Here are some suggestions:
- Before acquiring the plate, run calibration and verification beads on the Luminex instrument.
- Review the instrument settings and make sure they are appropriate for the assay being run (adjustment of needle height, make sure you select the correct bead gates and the correct DD settings).
- Shake the plate before acquisition on the instrument to resuspend the beads.
- Vortex the beads for 30 sec before adding them into the plate.
- Washing: Do not forget to keep the plate for about 2 mins on the Hand-Held Magnetic Plate Washer before emptying the plate.

This pattern is indicative of a sample matrix effect. Here are some suggestions:
- Confirm that the sample has been clarified and is free of debris and free of lipids (5-10 min centrifugation recommended).
- Confirm that there is at least a 1:1 ratio of sample to assay diluent for serum, plasma samples. For cell lysates or tissue homogenates, confirm that the sample has been diluted appropriately in assay buffer to reduce the concentration of detergent in the lysis buffer to ⋜0.01%. For other sample types, further sample optimization may be required.
