Abstract: A method for improving image quality is provided. The method includes receiving image data of a substrate, wherein the image data is generated by imaging the substrate, and an image is generated from the image data. The method further includes generating a background representation from a background noise portion of the image, wherein the background portion includes signal information undesired for further processing and generating a background subtracted image by subtracting the background rep resentation from the image. In this way, a separate background image is not needed to subtract the background from the image including the regions-of-interest to improve image quality.

Abstract: Methods are provided that operate on raw dissociation data and dissociation curves to generate calibrations of the detected data and to further improve analysis of the data. The data can be taken from each support region of a multi-region platform, for example, from each well of a multi-well plate. Each support region can be loaded with portions of the same sample. In some embodiments, a dissociation curve correction can be calibrated for the sample, prior to a run of an experiment using such sample. In some embodiments, a method is provided for generating a melting transition region of dissociation curves that show the melting characteristics of the sample. In some embodiments, dye temperature dependence correction can be performed on the dissociation curve data to further improve analysis. In some embodiments, a feature vector can be derived from the melt data, and the feature vector can be used to further improve genotyping analysis of the dissociation curves.

Abstract: The present application provides for various embodiments of methods for the analysis of high resolution melt (HRM) curve data; where statistical assay variations in melt curve data may result from system noise in an analysis system. Such system noise may arise from various sources, such as the thermal non-uniformity of a thermocycler block in a thermal cycler apparatus, a detection system, etc. Additionally, various methods for the analysis of HRM curve data may provide an identification of a sample without the need for a user inputted information.
