throughout the Data Analysis window:

Only wells loaded with content (entered in the Plate Editor) can be selected in the well selector,

and their color shows if they are selected. As shown in Figure 43, the well selector shows

these three types of wells:

• Selected, loaded wells (blue). These wells contain a loaded Unk (unknown) sample

type. The data from these wells appear in the Data Analysis window

• Unselected, loaded wells (light gray). These wells contain loaded Std and Pos sample

types. The data from unselected wells do not appear in the Data Analysis window

• Empty wells (dark gray). These wells were not loaded in the Plate Editor window
