Figure 26. Defining multiple standard replicate groups in a row.

If you drag across multiple rows or columns, the replicate groups will be numbered
sequentially, top to bottom and left to right.

Standards and unknowns (and replicate groups) are numbered sequentially within
each assay. If you have defined more than one assay on your template, each will have
its own Unknown 1, 2, 3, etc. You cannot define well types across assays.

To change the type of a well or group of wells, simply overwrite them as if you
were defining for the first time.

To change the replicate group of a well or group of wells, first select the well(s)
with the Select tool, then choose Set Replicate Group... from the EDIT menu or
the right-click list of available commands. This will open a small dialog box.
Select the desired replicate group from the pulldown list of existing replicate
groups within the dialog box.

If your well numbering is out of sequence and you want to correct it, select
Resequence Well Names from the FORMAT menu. The wells will be
renumbered in the correct order. This is a cosmetic change, and will not affect
the analysis in any way.
