88 Applied Biosystems 7300/7500/7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System Relative Quantification Getting Started Guide
Notes
10. Analyze the RQ data, as explained in Chapter 6
on page 59.
a. Configure analysis settings ( ), using the
Auto Ct option and analyze the data.
Note: See “Configuring Analysis Settings”
on page 63 for details.
If you know the optimal baseline and
threshold settings for your experiment, you
can use the Manual Ct and Manual Baseline
options.
b. If necessary, manually adjust the baseline
and threshold.

Conclusion
As shown in the figure on the right where liver is used
as the calibrator, expression levels of CCR2 are
greater in the liver than in the kidney or bladder
tissues of this individual.
Baseline is set before
amplification begins
Threshold falls within
exponential phase of curve
