Library Description
Plate files Not present in the Plate Manager software. See “Manage plate files in the Plat
e
Manager software” on page 131.
Injection protocols An injection protocol contains a run module, dye set, size standard (fragment
analysis only), and analysis settings.
An injection protocol is an optional item in a plate file. You can alternatively select the
individual items that are contained in an injection protocol.
Run modules A run module contains the parameters that control the instrument during data
collection.
Dye sets A dye set defines the number, dye color, and migration order of the dye peaks in the
sample.
Size standards (fragment
analysis only)
A size standard defines the sizes of known fragments. It is used to generate a
standard curve. The standard curve is used to determine the sizing of unknown
samples.
Analysis settings Analysis settings define basecalling (sequencing) and sizing (fragment analysis)
parameters.
