Defining Standards and Unknowns

After you have defined the assays in the template, you are ready to identify the wells

Microplate Manager how to use the well data from a reading in the resulting reports.

You should define any assays before specifying well types.

To format wells containing standards, click on the Format as Standards button, then

To format wells containing unknowns, click on the Format as Unknowns button, then
click or drag on the unknown wells in the template.

To change a formatted well back to undefined, click on the Format as Undefined
button, then click or drag on the defined wells.
