The use of deionized water is crucial for immunoassays in general. In this case, lower signal for the standards and controls was observed when non-deionized water was used. Despite the buffers containing EDTA, it seems that they may have been overloaded with ions and thus not able to chelate all of them.

General description
Called the “master gland” because it controls many other endocrine glands, the pituitary secretes several key hormones that play important roles in the regulation of metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Piuitary hormones are responsible for the stimulation of the adrenal gland (ACTH), thyroid gland (TSH), ovaries and testes (FSH, LH) and breast milk production (prolactin), as well as blood pressure and the amount of water excreted by the kidneys. Through its connection with the pituitary, the hypothalamus modulates endocrine function by detecting hormone levels. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a member of NGF family of neurotrophic factors which are required for differentiation and survival of specific neuronal sub-populations.
MILLIPLEX® Mouse Pituitary Panel is a 7-plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in mouse serum, plasma, and tissue culture samples: ACTH, BDNF, FSH, GH, Prolactin, TSH and LH. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate.
The Luminex® xMAP® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.

Was this a case of troubleshooting low MFIs across the standards and controls, with controls falling out of range due to the use of sterile non-deionized water to hydrate the standards and controls?

In Milliplex Analyst, the concentrations are reported in two columns. One is labeled pg/ml(i) and one is labeled pg/ml. What is the difference between these values?
1 answer-
The pg/ml values represent individual results and are not adjusted for the dilution factor. Additionally, the pg/ml values are the average results of the replicates, and if a dilution factor is present, this value will be multiplied by the dilution factor.
