5. Templates
Templates allow you to specify the number and layout of the wells on your
microplates. You use this layout information when analyzing your data and
organizing it in your final report(s).
The following information can be stored in a template:
• Number and location of assays on the plate.
• Well type (i.e., standard, unknown, positive or negative control, blank, or
undefined).
• Replicate groups (if any) for standards and unknowns within each assay.
• Concentrations of standards for each assay.
• Dilutions of unknowns for each assay.
• Customized name for each assay.
• Notes about each assay to be printed on reports.
• Type of regression for each assay.
• Type of axes for each regression.
• External standards (if any) to be applied to each assay
You can define your template at several stages.
• You can define the template first, by selecting an existing or new template
directly from the FILE menu, formatting it, then saving it as a Data File (.mpm).
You can then select this template file from within a Protocol, and it will be
automatically read into the final Data File.
• You can open and format a template from within the Protocol dialog box. It will
then be automatically read into the final Data File.
• You can format the template in the final Data File, or replace the template in the
Data File with a different template. (However, your changes will not be saved
with the Protocol.)
