Sample Table

The sample table lists the samples selected in the present experiment, and the values of any variables defined for those samples.

• The "Row" column identifies the original order of the sample before any sorting operations were performed
• The "Sample" column provides a short name of the sample, that will appear in charts and tables.   The default short name is to the part of the sample name that varies sample to sample.   For instance, the samples are named longfilename_a01, longfilename_a02, longfilename_a03, then the short names will be a01,a02,a03.   The samples may be renamed directly by clicking and typing in their name field.  They may also be renamed as a batch using a sample sheet, which also offers the option of defining sample groups of various kinds.
• The "hide" column allows a sample to be hidden from charts
• The "neg/blank" column marks a sample to be marked as a negative sample.   Negative samples are subtracted from the data.
• The "norm" column is not currently active for samples.
• The "dilution" column allows the entry of a dilution for samples in a dilution series.   Dilutions are used in generating standard curves.
  
• The "probes" column in the sample table lists how many probes were found in this samples.
• The "particles" column lists the total number of particles among all probes found in this sample.
