8.
When the run is complete and the software displays the Analysis screen, conrm
the status of the run.
Analysis status Action
Passed The system passed the RNase P run.
Failed
The system failed the RNase P run. Review the data for
outliers.
If the run fails, the software may have included outliers that
caused the initial analysis to fail. Error may cause some wells
to be amplified insufficiently or not at all. These wells typically
produce C
t
values that differ significantly from the average for
the associated replicate wells. If included in the calculations,
these outlying data (outliers) can result in erroneous
measurements.
9.
In the Amplication Plot, select Ct vs. W
ell from the Plot Type menu.
10.
Conrm the uniformity of each replicate population (controls, standards, and
unknowns) on the plate or array card by comparing the groupings of C
t
values:
a.
In the Plate Layout, select the wells containing Unknown Population A:
b.
From the plot, conrm that the C
t
values of the replicate population are
equivalent.
Note: The numbers on the X-axis of the plot correspond to the wells of the
plate or array card. Beginning with well A1, the wells are numbered from
left-to-right, and top-to-boom.
c.
If an outlier is present in the selected population, select the corresponding
well of the plate layout, then click Omit to remove the well from the
analysis. If the total number of outliers for the replicate population exceeds
the limit in the table below, repeat the test using another RNase P plate or
array card.
