Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System and SDS Enterprise Database User Guide
After a run, the SDS software receives run data in the form of a raw spectra signal for
each reading. To make sense of the raw data, the software must determine the
contribution of each fluorescent dye used in the sample through a process called
multicomponenting. The software accomplishes the separation by comparing the raw
spectra with a set of pure dye standards contained in a calibration file. When a plate
document is saved after analysis, the software stores the pure spectra information
with the collected fluorescent data for that experiment.
