Data Filtering
The first step 2100 expert takes in analyzing raw data is to apply data filtering. Data
filtering is done by means of a polynomial “filter” that is applied to the raw data. The
setting for the Polynomial Order in the setpoint explorer determines the amount of data
to be applied: the smaller the number, the more data that is applied and the more filtering
that takes place.
Data Points
Data points are 0.05 seconds apart.
Show Data Points is an option that enables the display of the data points used to
generate the graph.

Electrode Cleaner
An electrode cleaner should be used to clean the electrodes after each run is complete.
The cleaning procedure is slightly different depending upon the type of assay that was
just performed (DNA or RNA).
The electrode cleaner looks like a chip except that it is clear. With RNA assays you must
use two different electrode cleaners: one for general cleaning using RNAse-free water
and another for decontamination using RNAseZAP. It is recommended to use a
permanent marker to label the electrode cleaners so as not to mix them up.
