Time-Tagged Data
The FlexStation 3 instrument is a single-channel reading system.
Although the scan time is very fast (8 wells in about 1.0 seconds; 1 well in
about 50 ms), the difference in the exact time each well is read is
dependent on the number of rows selected in a column. This difference
is an important factor in fast kinetic assays.
For this reason, all readings are tagged with an exact read time, and
when multiple-well fast kinetic responses are plotted, the curves overlie
each other as plotted by the SoftMax Pro Software. If kinetic data are to
be exported, you can choose either time-interpolated data or raw time-
tagged data. Molecular Devices recommends that you select time-
interpolated data. This option is explained in more detail in the SoftMax
Pro user guide.
