| HLA-B | 48 | Immucor | 19,231 ± 2180 | 11,482–22,266 | 0.96 | ||
| One Lambda | 19,365 ± 2371 | 10,683–22,887 | |||||
| HLA-Cw | 18 | Immucor | 11,859 ± 2757 | 5990–15,660 | 0.53 | ||

The Immucor protocol: 40 μL of bead mixture was incubated with 10 μL of mAbs at the concentration of 50 μg/mL for 30 min at RT.
The One Lambda protocol: 2 μL of bead mixture was incubated with 20 μL of mAbs at the concentration of 10 μg/mL for 30 min at RT.
Note that the stock concentration of the bead solution differ between beadsets A and C: Beads of Beadset C are diluted 8 folds compared to Beadset A;
