Introduction to Experimental Design & AAO FX Software
Introduction to Experimental Design & AAO FX Software is a 3-1/2 day course designed to provide assay developers with a foundation in statistical design of experiments (DOE) and the use of Automated Assay Optimization (AAO) FX software to apply DOE using the Beckman Coulter Biomek® FX Laboratory Automation Workstation. Design-Expert software is used to setup your assay DOE; Automated Assay Optimization (AAO) FX software is used to translate your DOE into corresponding Biomek® FX methods and finally, the assay results are analyzed using Design-Expert software. . This course is unique in that it is designed and taught by Beckman Coulter (Lisa Fan) and Stat-Ease (Pat Whitcomb). For more information, click here.
