Size standards library
Size standard overview
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.
For example, the GS600 LIZ size standard in the software is used for GeneScan

Standard. It is used to generate a standard curve. The standard curve is used to determine the sizing of
unknown samples.
Size standard definition files provided
The library contains factory-provided size standard definition files.
For information on selecting a size standard for your application, see the DNA Fragment Analysis by
Capillary Electrophoresis User Guide (Pub. No. 4474504).
Note: The GeneScan

Size Standard v2.0 can be used for size standard
normalization. For more information, see “Size standard normalization feature” on page 278.
