Sample Experiment
In the example RQ experiment, the samples for each of the three tissues (liver, kidney, and bladder) are loaded on three
separate plates. Consequently, three RQ Plate documents are created, one for each of the sample plates.
Because the experiment is singleplex, there is only one sample—either a target or endogenous control—in each well. Each
well is associated with a detector (indicated by the colored squares). Additionally, each well is assigned a detector task—
T (target) or E (endogenous control).
The figure below shows the example RQ Plate document after sample names, detectors, and detector tasks are assigned
for each well in the liver plate.
