5.6.4 Set standard extra volume
When preparing standard dilutions, extra volume is required
to account for evaporation and pipet loss. Changing the
standard extra volume from the default setting can be useful
when preparing standard dilutions for manual PCR setup or
for PCR setup at a later time.
To change the standard extra volume:
1. Select “Set standard extra volume” from “Options/Run
settings”.
2. The “Standards Extra Volume” dialog box will open.
3. Enter a new extra volume.
Minimum extra
volume required
Defines the additional volume which
is prepared for each concentration of
the standard dilution.
4. Click on the “OK” button to return to the main software
window.
5.6.5 Set concentration unit
A concentration unit can be assigned to make concentration
values in the run more meaningful when presented in forms
and in reports. The assigned unit does not change the way in
which concentrations are handled or constructed.
