Result Flagging
Result flagging can be used to assign a user-defined color code to a sample. This lets you
easily identify samples with certain properties immediately after a chip run.
The color assignment is carried out by applying a sequence of rules to the measurement
results obtained for the sample. The rules are defined on chip level and are applied to all
samples of the chip.
There are two modes:
• In Normal mode, the rules are applied in the given order, and the first matching rule will
determine the color of the sample. All rules are applied subsequently. The first rule
which applies to the sample defines its color. So you should start with the most specific
rule. If that one does not apply, a less specific one may apply. If none of the defined rules
apply, the final default rule defines the color code.
• In Ta rg e t mode, all rules are applied subsequently. If the next rule applies, the color code
changes to the color code defined by the rule, otherwise the previous color code is kept.
Therefore, the last valid rule defines the color code of the sample. This mode is called
target mode because later rules refine the result color code. The first default color code
is the most general and the last one the most specific.
You can define the flagging rules already in the assay, or—after the chip run is
finished—modify these rules or define new rules in the chip data file, and apply the rules
to the measurement results.
