Output CSV File Format
This option exports an output CSV file similar to those generated by IS 2.3
software. It can be opened in third-party applications designed to analyze
IS 2.3 files. You have the option of changing analyte labels, well labels, and
analyte sort order in the resulting CSV (comma-separated values) file.
There are several export options available in the CSV format Content field.

A NALYTE L ABELS
Various software packages require different analyte naming conventions, such
as IL-2, which appear in the column heading within the CSV files. Refer to the
software instructions to identify which settings are suitable for your
application.
Name—Only the analyte description is generated in the report (as in IL-2)
Region—Only the region identifier is listed in the column header (as in 18)
Name (Region)—Both name and region ID are exported (as in IL-2 (18))
W ELL L ABELS
Rows in the CSV file represent well positions. There are two ways to indicate
well position. Well A1 (plate location) is equivalent to Well 1. Well H1 is
equivalent to Well 8. Row H12 is equivalent to well 96 (sequential).
Sequential—(1, 2, 3)
Plate Location—(A1, B1, C1)
