The peak area of an unknown sample can be compared against the peak area of a known
standard amplified in the same tube. A Gaussian fit is performed for each peak of interest and the
area calculated is presented in a table similar to that for Tm results.

4.7.3 Viewing the results

During the run, the real-time collection of data can be monitored on the Run screen. The plate
layout shows the fluorescence curve on a per-well basis and the temperature profile plot indicates
how far the run has progressed.

When the run has completed, results can be viewed in the Results Editor with data from each
stage of the run located under its own tab. Results of the ramp will be displayed under the tab in
which a ramp read was defined.
