4.2.9 Plate Setup Editor Spreadsheets
There are two different spreadsheets available from the Plate Setup Editor window: the Well
Identifier and the Plate Setup Editor Spreadsheets.
Well Identifier Spreadsheet
The Well Identifier spreadsheet (Figure 4.10) opens beneath the representation of the
experimental plate any time that the pointer tool is clicked on a well. This spreadsheet
simultaneously displays information about each dye layer in the active well.
In this spreadsheet you may edit the sample type, identifier, and quantity. Any changes are
applied to all members of a replicate group. It is also possible to change the replicate group
assignment of a well, but doing so will also automatically change the assignment of all other
members of the original replicate group.
NOTE: In order to edit the replicate group assignment of a single well, without changing the
other members of the same replicate group, make the change on the plate, not in the
spreadsheet.

Plate Setup Editor Spreadsheet
The Plate Setup Editor spreadsheet can be opened by clicking the spreadsheet button in the Plate
Setup Editor window. This spreadsheet displays information about all wells simultaneously, one
fluorophore at a time. Fluorophore selection is made at the top of the spreadsheet.

Within this spreadsheet you may change the sample type, identifier, and quantity. Note that
changes made to one member of a replicate group are carried through to all members of the
