Data Table
The data table for the current experiment is shown below the spectrum graph. The
data table contains the measurement results for all samples in the experiment. The
image below highlights the available features.
Sample Position Illuminator
The NanoDrop Eight Sample Position Illuminator and accompanying software user
interface are designed to help users keep track of which samples have already been
measured and which samples should be measured next. There are three different
templates designed for different sample holding formats. You can choose between
96-well plate, 1.5 mL tubes, and 0.5 mL tubes by clicking the 3-dot menu above the
plate matrix user interface in the bottom left of the measurement acquisition screen.
• 96-well plate: allows users to keep track of sample measurements for samples
stored in a standard 96-well microtiter plate
• 1.5 mL tubes: allows users to keep track of samples measurements for samples
stored in the 1.5 mL-sized spaces in the NanoDrop Eight tube rack accessory
• 0.5 mL tubes: allows users to keep track of samples measurements for samples
stored in the 0.5 mL-sized spaces in the NanoDrop Eight tube rack accessory
NOTE: This feature works most efficiently when a user imports sample names from
a file.
