Term Description
Reaction A reaction is the destination for the samples, master mixes,
and reagents. Reactions can be assigned to a sample
bank — this enables a reaction to be a component of a
different reaction. A reaction that is a component of
another reaction is an ‘Intermediate’ reaction.
Reagent A reagent can be combined with other reagents to make a
master mix, or added individually to a reaction. Reagents
are always dispensed to reaction wells before samples.
Reagent Block The Reagent Block is intended to hold reagents and
standards on the instrument worktable.
