For gene expression analysis or to distinguish among

multiple samples, select a Sample Name from the pull-

down menu to load that sample name in the selected

wells. To delete a sample name, select it in the menu,

press the Delete key, and then press Enter

TIP: To add a new sample name to the pull-down menu in

the current plate, type a new name in the pull-down box

and press the Enter key.

To load replicate numbers, selected wells must contain

identical well contents. If they do not, the software

disables this loading control.

Click the Load box to add a Replicate # to the selected

wells. Click the Clear Replicate # button to clear the

replicate number from selected cells

TIP: To load multiple replicate numbers across a series of

wells, click the Replicate Series button.

In the Replicate Series pane you can apply a replicate

series to a set of selected wells. Enter the Replicate

Group Size by selecting a number that represents the

number of samples (wells) in each group of replicates.

Select a Starting Replicate # to add replicates

NOTE: You can load replicate groups with replicate

numbers progressing from left to right (Horizontal), or

progressing from top to bottom (Vertical).

Enter a concentration to the selected wells with standard

sample type by editing or typing a number in the

Concentration box. To apply the concentration to one

fluorophore in the well, select a single fluorophore from

the pull-down menu (<All>) under the concentration box.

To delete a concentration, select it, press the Back Space

key on your keyboard, and then press Enter.
