DEFINING A REPLICATE GROUP
To define multiple wells as a replicate group, select Turn Off Autofill from
the formatting toolbar or Format Options menu, then drag your cursor over
several wells that contain the same sample. The wells are labeled with the
same number.
Figure 57. Defining a replicate group of unknowns
For each replicate group, a mean value is calculated, along with the standard
deviation, standard error, and coefficient of variation.
AUTOFILLING REPLICATE GROUPS
If you have multiple replicate groups of wells in rows or columns, you can
autofill these by selecting Autofill Across or Autofill Down as before, and then
entering the number of wells in the replicate group (up to 96) in the number
field next to the autofill buttons. (You can also select well numbers up to 10
from the pulldown menu.)
Figure 58. Entering the number of replicate wells in an Autofill sequence
Now when you drag your cursor, the sequential sets of replicate wells are
defined.

For each replicate group, a mean value is calculated, along with the standard
deviation, standard error, and coefficient of variation.
