Abstract Background This study attempted to replicate Luminex experimental results for large numbers of beads per classifier using multiplexed assays and routine instrument use conditions. Conclusion Using larger numbers of microspheres per classifier highlights a fundamental stochastic distribution of bead counts issue complicated by other factors. The more classifiers and the higher the count required per classifier there are the more apparent the distribution of counts per classifier will be and the more microspheres are required. Additional problems have been identified. Alternate methods of improving precision and reliability are recommended such as intraplexing and multi-well sample replicates to improve precision and confidence. Background In a study by Jacobson et al. 1 up to 1000 microspheres were acquired for a single classifier. Those results showed improved confidence intervals and more reliable mean values for 1000 microspheres. The current study attempted to replicate .
