Settings for Study
Settings
The settings in this group box determine how the software handles the endogenous
control data and RQ Min/Max confidence values for your study. These settings are
crucial to the analysis and are set once for the study
.
Figure 6-11 Gene Expression Settings for Study Settings
• Calibrator Sample – Displays the name of the sample that the software uses as
the calibrator for the study.
• Endogenous Control Detector – Specifies the name of the detector that the
software will use as the endogenous control for the study.
• Control Type – The Multiplexed/Non-Multiplexed option buttons specify how
the software will use the data from the wells labeled with the endogenous
control data.
• RQ Min/Max Confidence – Specifies the confidence value that the software
will use to calculate the standard error of the mean expression level (RQMax
and RQMin values) for the samples in the study.
