The table lists your control wells (C1, C2, C3, etc.). These are the wells that
you defined in the Format Plate window (page 68). Enter the concentration of
the selected analyte in the Conc column for each well.
Figure 89. Entering concentrations of the controls
If the Same Conc. Values for All Analytes checkbox is selected, the
concentration values you enter are applied to all the available control analytes.
Deselect the checkbox if you want to enter different concentrations for each
control analyte. You can enter additional information about your controls in the
description column for each well.
If you are performing a dilution of your controls, you can enter a dilution factor
for each control in the Dilution column. Note that a control diluted 1 in 2 would
have a dilution factor of 2. This feature allows for parallelism studies, whereby
a control diluted by different dilution factors is analyzed to verify that the final
concentration is the same for all samples.
Figure 90. Entering Controls with different dilution factors
If you are entering different concentrations for each analyte standard, repeat the
procedure by selecting each analyte from the pulldown menu as described above.
To enter the same dilution factor for all controls, enter the value in the Dilution
Factor field, and click the Set All Dilution Factors button. The dilution factor
you enter for one analyte is automatically applied to all analytes.
NOTE: You can use the Cut, Copy and Paste commands on the Edit menu to
copy your descriptions, concentrations, and/or dilutions between analytes.
You can also copy and paste from and to other applications such as Microsoft
Word or Excel. Click a cell, row, or column in the table to copy and paste.
