Dye set G5 created from matrix standard set DS-33
• Best practice is to perform a spectral calibration every time you install a new
capillary array
.
• There may be circumstances where you want to reuse a calibration that was
generated using a dierent capillary array.
Note: You must select the calibration before data is collected. After data is
collected, you cannot reapply a dierent spectral calibration.
• Do not reuse a previous calibration when you use the G5-RCT dye set. Because of
the way the spectral calibration is generated, it is specic to the capillary array
used to generate the calibration.
