Appendix A Creating Detectors - Applied Biosystems 7500 Getting Started Manual

Before you can use a plate document to run a plate,
you need to create and apply detectors for all samples
on the plate. A detector is a virtual representation of a
gene- or allele-specific nucleic acid probe reagent
used for analyses performed on instruments.
To create a detector:
Select Tools > Detector Manager.
