Creating a Quantitative Assay Protocol
The protocol must contain multiple standards. The standards are assigned lot value
information for each test. A standard curve is generated according to the lot values. Including
controls in the protocol is optional, but recommended for judging the acceptability of batch
results.
To create a quantitative assay protocol:
1. Open the Protocols page, then open the Protocols tab. Click Create New Protocol.
The Settings tab opens.
2. In the Name box, type the name of the protocol.
3. Type a description in the box to the right of the Name box.
4. In the Version box, type the version of the protocol.
5. In the Manufacturer box, type the manufacturer information for the protocol.
6. Define settings in the Acquisition Settings section.
7. Define settings in the Analysis Settings section, selecting Quantitative as the analysis
type.
