Using SkanIt Software
This chapter describes the session tree which is the main part of the software user interface. You will
find information on how to create sessions, view and export measurement results, perform calculations,
and create data reports.
The general outline for using the software is:
1. Create a new session or open an existing one.
2. Define the plate layout and protocol.
3. Start the session.
4. View the results and perform calculations.
5. Create result report and export data.
Sessions
The information that is needed to define and run an assay is saved in a
session
. With SkanIt Software
you can build sessions for your own assays and run or modify ready-made sessions
Session structure
The
Session tree
is the main use area in the software. The
Session tree
has five main sections:
1.
Notes -
write notes about a session.
2.
Plate Layout
- define which wells of the microplate you want to measure.
3.
Protocol
- define what you want the instrument to do (for example, measure, shake).
4.
Results
- view the measurement results and choose your calculation methods.
5.
Report
- create a report of the measurement and calculation results.
