Report Table Column Descriptions
The columns in the table show the analyte data for each well or replicate
group of wells. The available Report Table columns are defined below:
• Type — sample type (unknown, standard, blank, etc.) and number,
based on plate formatting
• Well — well number; all wells are listed for a replicate group (see
next section)
• Outlier — contains a checkbox for flagging the well or group of
wells as an outlier. See page 161
• Description — description you entered for each standard, control,
or sample in the Protocol
• FI — median fluorescent intensity of the analyte
• FI — Bkgd — median fluorescent intensity minus background
(measured using the defined blank wells) of the analyte
• Std Dev — standard deviation of a replicate group of wells
• Std Err — standard deviation of a replicate group of wells divided
by the square root of the number of replicates
• %CV — coefficient of variation of a replicate group of wells. If this
value is high, you may want to review the individual FI values and
select the appropriate member of the replicate group as an outlier
(see next section)
• Norm Ratio — normalized ratio. See Data Normalization on
page 207 for more information on normalizing data
• Norm Ratio Std Dev — standard deviation of the Norm Ratio
values for all the wells within a sample's replicate group
• Norm Ratio Std Err — the normalized standard deviation, Norm
Ratio Std Dev, divided by the square root of the number of replicate
wells within the sample's replicate group
• Norm Ratio %CV — the normalized standard deviation, Norm
Ratio Std Dev, divided by the normalized ratio of the sample's
replicate group
• Norm FI — normalized fluorescent intensity. See Data
Normalization on page 207 for more information on normalizing
data
• Norm FI Std Dev — standard deviation of the Norm FI values for
all the wells within a sample's replicate group
• Norm FI Std Err — the normalized standard deviation, Norm FI
Std Dev, divided by the square root of the number of replicate wells
within the sample's replicate group
• Norm FI %CV — the normalized standard deviation, Norm FI Std
Dev, divided by the normalized FI of the sample's replicate group
