Notes
Chapter Overview
The 7500 software analyzes the data using the relative standard curve quantitation
method. Section 1 of this chapter explains how to review the analyzed data using several
of the analysis screens and how to publish the data. Section 2. If you obtain questionable
results, Section 2 of this chapter explains how to perform some troubleshooting.
Note: The relative standard curve example experiment includes three flagged wells. The
flags indicate common problems that you may encounter when performing your own
experiments. Procedures are provided for viewing the flags and omitting one of the wells.
