    Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a method for validating an instrument is provided. The method includes receiving amplification data from a validation plate to generate a plurality of amplification curves. The validation plate includes a sample of a first quantity and a second quantity, and each amplification curve includes an exponential region. The method further includes determining a set of fluorescence thresholds based on the exponential regions of the plurality of amplification curves and determining, for each fluorescence threshold of the set, a first set of cycle threshold (Ct) values of amplification curves generated from the samples of the first quantity and a second set of Ct values of amplification curves generated from the samples of the second quantity. The method includes calculating if the first and second quantities are sufficiently distinguishable based on Ct values at each of the plurality of fluorescence thresholds.

    Abstract: A method of automatically sequencing or basecalling one or more DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules of a biological sample is described. The method comprises using a capillary electrophoresis genetic analyzer to measure the biological sample to obtain at least one input trace comprising digital data corresponding to fluorescence values for a plurality of scans. Scan labelling probabilities for the plurality of scans are generated using a trained artificial neural network comprising a plurality of layers including convolutional layers. A basecall sequence comprising a plurality of basecalls for the one or more DNA molecules based on the scan labelling probabilities for the plurality of scans is determined.

    Abstract: The present teachings relate to a method and system for determining Regions of Interest (ROI) for one or more biological samples in a laboratory instrument. The method can include an optical system capable of imaging florescence emission from a plurality of sample wells. An initial ROI, its center location and size can be estimated from the fluorescence detected from each well. From this information the average size of the ROIs can be determined and global gridding models can be derived to better locate each of the ROIs. The global gridding models can then be applied to the ROIs to improve the precision of the ROI center locations. Sample wells not originally providing fluorescence ROIs can be recovered through the use of mapping functions. The radius of each ROI can then be adjusted to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the optical system.
