Using Protocols, Lots, and Kits
Protocols
There are four protocol types:
• Qualitative Assay (Standards or Controls)
• Quantitative Assay (Standards or Controls)
• Allele Call
• None (No Analysis)
You can also create a protocol that does not use an analysis setting.
You can create each Quantitative, Qualitative, or Allele Call protocol using one product
that is composed of a definable number of standards and controls.
