  • Log into Thermo Cloud (https://apps.thermofisher.com/apps/dashboard using the login information for your lab (the Bridges Lab account data is located on the side of the machine.)
  • Click on the File Folder icon and find your folder (or the folder in which you saved your run).
  • Select the file with extension .eds. The program will automatically take you to the Results tab of your run.
  • Above the graph, use the dropdown box to select Melt Curve.
  • Click on Target above the plate schematic to select one target at a time.
    • Verify that there is only one (prominent) peak for each of your targets.
    • Verify that each of your replicates amplified for each target.
    • If there is a target that yields 2+ peaks over all samples, mark that target as unusable in the Primer Database.
    • Exclude samples that did not pass the above criteria by clicking the well (not the plate schematic) and select Omit under the Action dropdown box above the plate schematic.
  • Check the technical replicates by choosing the Table View and arranging them according to target. Verify that the CT values have <1.5 difference. Omit outliers.
  • Click Next and Export your results to the appropriate project folder.
  • Under App Connect on the right hand side click on Relative Quantification (qPCR). Open your run.
  • Under the Overview tab, assign biological groups to each of your samples (if needed).
  • If you need to omit samples from the analysis, do so under the Data Review tab by clicking on the affected target, highlighting, and omitting the wells with outliers.
  • Under the Analysis tab click the blue Analyze button in the top right corner to visualize your adjusted data.
  • Export your data to the appropriate location.
