Reagent sub-batch/sub-lot number

Enter the reagent sub-batch or sub-lot number, a combination of numbers, letters, and/or symbols. It identifies a sub-batch (or sub-lot), which allows you to infer the production and distribution history.

Recursive

Set Recursive to 'yes' if you want to repeat the test (with previously found outliers excluded) as long as outliers are detected and the number of values is greater than or equal to 3.

Replicate averaging

Enable this feature if you want to fit the regression by using the mean of the response values for each sequence step rather than individual response values.

Expand the node to add or view information.

Report group

Select a Report group from the drop-down list.

Report groups allow you to combine assay elements for displaying them in overlay plots, aggregating their statistics, and printing them next to each other in reports.

Report group

Define a Report group. You can then reference this group in assay elements to combine them for calculating an average, performing regression analysis, displaying them in overlay plots, and printing them next to each other in reports.

This element has the following attributes:

Data type Multiplicity Usage Default value
xs:empty 0...unbounded optional none

Report groups

This section allows you to set up multiple Report groups. You can then assign assay elements to these groups to display them in overlay plots, to aggregate their statistics, and to print them next to each other in reports.

This element has the following attributes:

Data type Multiplicity Usage Default value
T_Groups 0...1 optional none

Context:

Response data processing

This section allows you to define how your response data is to be processed prior to fitting the regression model. You set up a sequence of response data processing steps.

Expand the node to add or view information.

Four types of response data processing are available:

  • Adjustment
  • Normalization
  • Transformation
  • Replicate averaging

By default, four response data processing steps are displayed - one of each type. By default, all four steps are disabled. Enable the steps you require.

Note: PLA executes response data processing steps in the order they are displayed in this section, from top to bottom. Drag and drop individual steps to change the sequence.
Tip: You can add multiple Adjustment and multiple Normalization steps from the Creatable elements pane. But you can only use one Transformation and one Replicate averaging step.
Tip: Add a scope element to individual Adjustment, Normalization, and Transformation steps. This allows you to apply individual steps to specific Assay elements, Assay element types, or Plates.
