Review the plot.
Passing calibration results show uniform signals with peaks that are aligned with the dye
wavelength.

Passed
1. Tap Accept Results or Reject Results .
Note: Accepting the results saves the calibration data to the instrument and
overwrites existing data.
2. (
Optional ) Tap Transfer EDS to transfer the calibration data to a USB drive.
Failed
1. Perform the calibration again using a new custom dye plate. Create the plate
using the next dye concentration greater than the optimal dye concentration (see
“Determine the optimal dye concentration”
on page 116 ).
2. For more information, see “Troubleshoot calibration failure”
on page 95 .
10.
Unload the plate from the instrument.
Note: You must also add the custom dye to the desktop software dye library before you create, run, or
analyze experiments that use custom dyes.
Note:
To perform a custom melt experiment, you can either create a Standard Curve or a Custom
experiment with melt, then specify the data points per degree in the method.
