NUMBER OF STANDARDS
This option (Figure 3-31) allows the user to enter the number of standards
that will be used in the assay. Any previously defined value will be
displayed on the screen. If the number of standards is altered, the number of
replicates for the standard automatically defaults to 1.

• Use the NUMERIC keys to enter the Number of Standards. The
valid range depends on the selected curve fit method. The
maximum number of standards is 12. The minimum is 4 for 4-P fit,
cubic, cubic spline, and logit-log; 3 for quadratic; and 2 for linear
and point-to-point.
NUMBER OF STANDARD REPLICATES
This option (Figure 3-32) allows the user to enter the number of replicates per
standard in the assay. Any pre-defined value appears on the display.

• Use the NUMERIC keys to enter the Number of Standard
Replicates. The range is 1 to 8 replicates. The software will verify
that the number of replicates, multiplied by the number of
standards, does not exceed the number of wells on the plate.
