Analysis Endpoints in AxIS-Z

The Endpoint drop-down selects the endpoint plotted by the Impedance Map and Endpoint Plot. Endpoints are calculated for each replicate.  Individual well values are displayed on the Impedance Map; and then averaged across replicate wells for the Endpoint Plot. The following endpoints are available:

  • At Cursor – Impedance value at the Endpoint cursor time point.
  • Maximum – Maximum impedance value between the two cursors, Endpoint Start and Endpoint End.
  • Minimum – Minimum impedance value between the two cursors, Endpoint Start and Endpoint End.
  • Area Under The Curve – Net area under the impedance curve between the Endpoint Start and Endpoint End cursors.
  • Kill Time 50 – The time from the Endpoint Start Cursor (e.g. the dosing time) to the point of 50% cytolysis.
