To define an assay group, click the Group button and drag the cursor
across the wells you want to group.
NOTES:
• Wells must be defined as Unknown samples, Standards, Controls,
or Blanks before they can be grouped.
• You can group across well types (for example, a single group can
include Standards, Unknown samples, Controls, and/or Blanks).
• Replicate wells are automatically placed in the same group (even if
you drag over only one well in the replicate set).
Figure 66. Defining a group of wells
The grouped wells change color to indicate their grouping, and the first
member of the group is highlighted to indicate that it is defined as the
Reference well.
Each group you create will be designated with a different color.
To remove individual members of a group or the entire group, click the
Ungroup Samples button and click or drag over the members/group.
Note that you can also use the Select tool to first select a group of wells,
and then use the Set Sample Group command on the Format Options menu
or context menu to select the group.
