End Point Tab
Open the End Point tab to analyze final relative fluorescence units (RFUs) for the sample wells.
The software compares the RFU levels for wells with unknown samples to the RFU levels for
wells with negative controls, and “calls” the unknown as a Positive or Negative. Positive
samples have an RFU value that is greater than the average RFU value of the negative controls
plus the Cut Off Value.
To analyze the end point data, the plate must contain negative controls, or the software cannot
make the call. Run one of these two types of protocols:
• Run a Quantitation protocol. Set up a standard protocol. After running the experiment,
open the Data Analysis window, adjust the data analysis settings in the Quantitation tab,
and then click the End Point tab to pick an end point cycle
• Run an End Point Only protocol. Load the End Point Only protocol in the Plate tab of
the Experiment Setup window, select or create a plate, and run the experiment
