  • Normalization of data
    Patent number: 8089623
    Abstract: Methods for normalizing output from an instrument employing a reference standard or non-fluorescing substance disposed within at least one of a plurality of reaction chambers. The method comprises collecting and analyzing a signal associated with the reference standard or non-fluorescing substance to determine a normalizing bias. The normalizing bias is then applied to the data signal collected from a remainder of the plurality of reaction chambers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 2009
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2012
    Assignee: Applied Biosystems LLC
    Inventors: H. Pin Kao, Ian A. Harding, Achim Karger, Mark F. Oldham, Omead Ostadan, Greg Young

  • Normalization of Data Using Controls
    Publication number: 20100113285
    Abstract: A method of using a standard to correct for variability in sample handling, can comprise (a) adding a template of known concentration to an assay comprising a sample; (b) preamplifying the assay; (c) amplifying the assay; (d) collecting data during the amplifying; and (e) correcting the data using a comparison of data collected from the template to data collected from the sample.

  • Normalization of data using controls
    Patent number: 7417726
    Abstract: An apparatus for normalizing a PCR instrument, can comprise a microplate comprising at least 6,000 wells and a system of dyes at known concentrations in a plurality of the at least 6,000 wells. A method for normalizing a system can comprise (a) providing a microplate comprising at least 6,000 wells and a system of dyes; (b) exciting at least one dye; (c) detecting an emission output for the at least one dye; (d) determining if the emission output is in an acceptable range; and (e) adjusting the system so that the emission output is in the acceptable range.
