Types of Wells
A template allows you to define six different types of wells:
•
Standard wells contain your standards. They are indicated by a circle with a
number at the center that indicates the replicate group.
•
Unknown wells contain your unknowns. They are indicated by a square with a
number at the center that indicates the replicate group.
•
Blank wells are used to measure background noise for accurate absorbance
calculation. They are indicated by a diamond with a letter B at the center.
•
Positive control wells contain samples that define the upper limit of your data
range. They are indicated by a triangle with a “+” at the center.
•
Negative control wells contain samples that define the lower limit of your data
range. They are indicated by an inverted triangle with a “–” at the center.
•
Undefined wells are undefined in the template. They are indicated by an empty
white square.
