If
YES
is chosen, a new standard curve will be generated. The plate map is not
changed. (If “Prompt for Sample ID” is enabled in the UTIL section, you will be
prompted to enter the number of samples. See
Using the Utility Options in
this chapter for more information on the UTIL options.)
If
NO
is chosen, the stored standard curve will be used. If Auto mapping had
been used to originally map the standards, blanks, controls and samples
defined for this assay, the map will be automatically regenerated without the
standards, beginning in well xxx (where xxx was chosen as the starting well in
the map, usually well A01). If
manual mapping was used to map the plate,
the map is not regenerated – the reader will not produce results for the well
positions that originally were standards. Auto mapping is recommended, if
the standard’s curves will be routinely reused.
Number of Controls
The
NUMBER OF CONTROLS
screen allows you to enter the number of control
groups that will be used in the assay. Any previously defined value will
appear on the display.

•
Use the numeric keys to enter the
NUMBER OF CONTROLS
groups in
the assay. For example, if the assay requires one or more positive
control wells and one or more negative control wells, enter 02.
•
The valid entry range depends on the number of locations on the plate
that are undefined. The maximum number of control groups is 8.
