TRANSFORMATIONS
Transformation formulas change the absorbance data of all wells defined in
the Map, to another format, in preparation for further data reduction. Simple
transformations can change the OD values of all wells on the plate to some
other value, as described in Transformation Formula Definition below.
TRANSFORMATION FORMULA DEFINITION
• From the assay Define Menu, press the arrow corresponding to Formula

EXAMPLE 1:
Divide all OD’s on the plate by 2 and multiply by 100.
Enter the formula: (OD/2)*100
This formula will be applied to the OD’s of all samples, standards, controls
and blanks that are present on the plate map.
