Creating a Sample Names File
Sample Names Files created in the LabChip GX Touch software can
be used to specify the desired sample names for each well in a
plate. The Sip order can also be specified to match the order of
wells in the Sample Names file. Sample Names Files created in the
LabChip GX Touch software do not contain Expected Peaks.
Existing Sample Names files can also be edited in the LabChip GX
Touch software by importing the existing file, editing the sample
names and User Comments, and then exporting the edited file.
