A
ASY file
In Bio Sizing electrophoretic assays were stored as .asy files. 2100 expert can import .asy

B
Baseline
A baseline is established just after the First Peak Time setpoint. After the overall baseline
is established, a local baseline is calculated for each peak to compensate for baseline
drift.
For isolated peaks, the local peak baseline is simply a straight line connecting the Start
Point of the peak with the End Point. For peaks that are very close together, an average
baseline is used when the value between the peaks does not drop to the actual baseline.
