3.1.2 Using the Experiment Editor
Use the experiment editor to define the experiment type. To open the experiment editor, select Experiment
> add experiment... in the well editor or select New or Edit (double-click on an experiment name) in the
Experiments window under Setup. Three types of experiments are possible: Absolute Quantification (ABS),
Rare Event Detection (RED), and Copy Number Variation (CNV). A default list of experiments is supplied at
installation, but you can create and save custom experiments; upgrade installations will preserve current
experiment lists.
Settings are summarized in the Applied Well Settings box as you enter them. When you are done, click Apply
or OK to save the experiment information.
The settings appear in the well in the plate map.
If the Sample Name, Experiment, Assay Name, and Assay Type all match across multiple wells, the software
can identify these as “merged” and provides an option to view merged data during analysis (see Section 3.3).
