Bubble
If the tip of a pipette is not positioned below the liquid level in the
well, bubbles can result. If a large bubble forms at the bottom of a
well, remove the sample from the well, pipette the sample back into
the well, and continue with the loading procedure.
Data Files
While running an assay, the raw data received from the instrument
is automatically saved to the plate data file (*.gxd). As the data from
each single well is received, it is saved to the data file. The name of
the data file is specified in the Setup Run Tab. If a run is stopped
before the run is complete, the data file contains the data for the
completed wells. If the LabChip GxP option is installed, the data
files are located in the CDR.
The data file contains the data from the read, assay information,
analysis settings, and run information for the run.
Data Points
Data points are determined by the data collection rate set in the
assay properties. Select the Show Data Points option in the Graph
Settings to displays the data points used to generate the graph.
