Calibration description and purpose
Normalization (TaqMan
• The software extracts a spectral profile for each normalization standard.
• The software uses the normalization standards to obtain a correction
factor for the specific dyes, for example, FAM
• The correction factor is used to generate comparable component signal
levels across instruments.
