Glossary of Terms 266Standard Curve WindowThe Standard curve window shows the Standard curve used for theselected plate data.DNA AssaysWhen you choose Standard Curve from the View menu for a DNAassay, a window similar to Figure 119 opens. The standard curve isdrawn from the values obtained for the DNA ladder. It is a plot of thesize of the ladder peaks vs. time with a point-to-point fit. For eachsample peak, the apex is interpolated from the Standard Curve todetermine the peak size in base pairs (BP).Figure 119. DNA Assay Standard CurveFor more information about the use of the standard curve duringanalysis, see “How the Software Analyzes DNA Data” on page 36.Protein AssaysWhen you choose Standard Curve from the View menu for aprotein assay, a window similar to Figure 120 opens. The standardcurve is drawn from the values obtained for the protein ladder. It is aplot of the size of the ladder peaks vs. time with a Log fit. For eachsample peak, the apex is interpolated from the Standard Curve todetermine the peak size in kDa.P/N 127170 Rev. 00 LabChip GX User Manual Caliper Life Sciences, Inc.
