A method for detecting the effects of interference effects on measurement data

摘要

A method of detecting impacts of interfering effects on experimental data resulting, e.g., from fluorescence measurements comprises the steps of: (i) providing the experimental data, (ii) determining values of one or a plurality of identification parameters, e.g. fluorescence intensity, from said data, (iii) creating a histogram or distribution of said values, (iv) determining one or a plurality of thresholds for said values from said histogram, which thresholds are indicative of interfering effects, (v) analysing said values whether or not they fulfill one or a plurality of criteria with respect to said thresholds, and (vi) determining those experimental data which are influenced and/or those experimental data which are not affected by the interfering effects.
