injection in the injection sequence. The sample injection for binding analysis has
an additional setting for dissociation time. This is the time for which dissociation
will be monitored after the end of the injection without disturbances from flow
system washing procedures.

Step 4. Samples

The sample table contains one column for each sample injection in the injection
sequence. New rows are created as you enter data in the table. (The illustration
above shows how the wizard could be used to set up a pair-wise epitope
mapping experiment.)
