The starting concentrations are specified on a label or product insert in the
standard lot kit.
Tip: If the starting concentration for all of your analytes is identical, enter
the concentration for the first analyte. Select the entire row by clicking in
the first column in the table. Right click and select “Apply starting
concentration to all analytes” from the menu to populate the starting
concentration for all the analytes with the same number.
Defining a Standard Lot with Custom Concentrations
There may be times when you want to customize the dilutions of your standards.
For example, you might start with a dilution factor of 4 for the first three wells, then
dilute the standard in smaller increments for the next three wells.
To define custom concentrations for the analytes
1. In the New Standard Lot dialog box, select Custom for “Define Standard Lot
By.”
The table displays a column for each standard well.
2. Select the number of standard wells in your protocol.
3. For each analyte, enter the concentration values for each standard.
4. When you are done, click OK.
Creating a Standard Lot from an Existing Lot
You can create a new standard lot from an existing lot. This is useful if you use the
same assay panel repeatedly because it saves the time of reentering the starting
concentration values.
To create a new standard lot from an existing lot
1. From the protocol dialog box, click Standards Info.
2. Click Manage Standard Lots.
3. In the Manage Standard Lots dialog box, select a standard lot from the list and
click New From.
