Persisted Plate Documents
Persisted plate documents include the equivalent information stored in SDS plate
documents. Plate documents have a 1:1 correspondence with the optical plate or Low
Density Array they represent. Each persisted plate documents consists of a collection
of plate setup information for running a plate on the 7900HT instrument including:
• Sample/well assignments,
• Marker/detector definitions and well assignments,
• Marker/detector tasks and quantity,
• Plate bar code
Analysis Sessions
An analysis session is a set of analysis results derived from a single raw data set
associated with a single plate document analyzed by the SDS software. Multiple
analysis sessions can be associated with the same plate document. Each analysis
session has a unique name used to distinguish it from the other sessions for the same
plate document.
Session data exists in two states on the database: attached or unattached. Attached
sessions are those that have been assigned to a specific study. Session data can be
attached to a study by the Automation Controller Software or by using the RQ
Manager or SNP Manager Software.
IMPORTANT! After you attach a session to a study, you cannot add it to another
study until you unattach it. See the RQ Manager Software User Guide or SNP
Manager Software User Guide for instructions on removing attached sessions from a
study.
RQ and SNP Studies
The SDS Enterprise Database software uses a system of studies to organize the
secondary analysis of session data produced by an Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast
Real-Time PCR System. The central purpose of using the study system is to group
the analysis session data for analysis using the SNP Manager or the RQ Manager
Analysis Software.
The SDS Enterprise Database includes a copy of the SDS Enterprise Database for
the Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System Administrators Guide,
which provides information for integrating the database into a laboratory workflow.
The guide includes:
• Detailed information about the SDS Enterprise Database API
• Supporting information such as sample code, javadoc reference, and
connectivity requirements for the database.
