Viewing and Editing Samples
The Edit Samples/Add Columns view displays a tabular list (Sample table) of
all unique samples in a project in the raw form imported from the RBX files. In
this view, you add columns to the Sample table, which allows you to define
your biological replicate groups and assign other important information such
as demographic data, strain, or gender associated with each sample.
Editing the data adds descriptive information that enables you to make
meaningful comparisons when you analyze the data. This descriptive
information is a prerequisite for data visualization and statistical calculations.
Annotation assists you in identifying data groupings.
You can edit the data on a plate-by-plate basis using the data set selector.
You can copy, paste, or edit data into table columns from a spreadsheet. You
can also change the order of the columns. Columns and order selections
persist until you change them. Once you add columns, you can add data from
a spreadsheet to each cell, one row or one column at a time, or all at once.
The Sample Table
When you import data into Bio-Plex Data Pro, the data are displayed in a
Sample table.
