Chapter Overview
This chapter explains how to use the Design Wizard in the 7500 software to set up the
relative standard curve example experiment. The Design Wizard guides you through
Applied Biosystems recommended best practices as you enter design parameters for the
example experiment.
Note:
When you design your own experiments, you can select alternate workflows (see
“Using This Guide with Your Own Experiments” on page 13).
