Note:
For simple methods, the assay step name and purpose may often be the
same (e.g. Solvent Correction, Sample, Control Sample etc). It is however
important to remember that the name is for documentation from the
user’s perspective and may be chosen freely, while the purpose has
significance for the step properties and for evaluation of the run and must
be chosen from the predefined list.
Connect to cycle type
Each assay step is connected to one cycle type, which determines the detailed
operation of the step (see Section 5.6). Choose the cycle type from the list of
types available in the method.
5.5.2
Number of replicates
Assay steps can be set to run in replicate, which means that all cycles in the
assay step will be repeated the specified number of times. The order in which
cycles in the assay step are repeated can be specified:
5.5.3
Recurrence
An assay step can be set to recur at a specified interval within the context of
another step. The recurrence can be specified as
Every n cycles
(so that the
number of occurrences will depend on the number of cycles in the assay step)
or
Distribute n occurrences evenly
(in which case the number of occurrences is
fixed and they are distributed as evenly as possible among the cycles in the
assay step). In addition, the recurring step can be specified to be executed at the
beginning and/or end of the step in which it is set to recur.
If the higher level step is run in replicate, a recurring step is distributed among
the total number of cycles including replicates. This is illustrated by the
calculations below for a recurring step set to
Every 5 cycles
:
As entered
performs all cycles in the step once, then repeats the step until
the number of replicates is reached (this is represented as
1,2,3,1,2,3
to illustrate the order of 3 cycles in a step repeated
twice)
Order
performs the first cycle in the step for the specified number of
replicates, then the second cycle and so on (represented as
1,1,2,2,3,3
)
Random
randomizes the order of the cycles within the step until all cycles
have been executed the specified number of times.
