Standards and Band Matching
15-7
To remove a standard value, click on the triangle button at the beginning of
the row and select Delete from the pop-up box. The remaining standards will
be renumbered.
Applying Standard Values to Lanes
To apply the values to the standard lanes on your image, click on the Apply to
Lane button, then click on a lane.
Fig. 15-7. Click on the Apply to Lane button, then click on the lanes containing standards.
The values will be applied to the bands in the lane you select. Click on any
remaining standard lanes to apply the same values to them.
Note: Generally, the more evenly spaced standard lanes in your gels, the greater
the accuracy of the calculated band values. We recommend a minimum of
two standard lanes per gel. Modeling lines that connect the standard
bands in different lanes are used to compensate for any smiling or
distortion across the gel.
You can also click on the numbered button next to a band value to apply that
value to a particular band in a lane on your image. Click on the button, then
