Signal map of the dust-corrected image
In case the images still show dust particles or other particles after the correction, the
recommendation is to unload the plate, wipe the plate with a lint-free tissue and to re-image the
plate.
Note : For QIAcuity Software Suite v2.0 or higher, dust detected in one channel is used for finding
dust in other channels as well. If required, to improve dust detection, always image all channels
even not used by assay(s).
The QIAcuity Software Suite version 2.1 exhibits an improvement for dust detection for dust causing
light infections of neighbor partitions. This figure shows an example of a well before and after
smear dust correction.
