Note: Accepting the results saves the calibration data to the instrument and
overwrites existing data.

Perform the calibration again using a new custom dye plate. Create the plate
using the next dye concentration greater than the optimal dye concentration (see
“Determine the optimal dye concentration” on page 116).
