Patent ID: 8538733

Claim:
A method for analyzing melt curve data, the method comprising: generating, by a computer system, melt curve data for a calibration sample deposited in a plurality of support regions of a sample support device in a thermal cycler system, wherein the melt curve data is a calibration set of melt curve data, operable for correcting other sets of melt curve data; generating, by the computer system, melt curve data for at least one test sample deposited in a plurality of support regions of a sample support device in thermal cycler system, wherein the melt curve data is an experimental set of melt curve data; correcting, by signal processing by the computer system, the experimental set of melt curve data for system noise variation over the plurality of support regions of the sample support using the calibration set of melt curve data; and displaying, by the computer system, the corrected experimental set of melt curve data to a user.
