Sample groups

Ion Reporter™ Software supports sample groups to use when setting up analysis workflows. The sample group selections work with research application selections, and affect the options that are available in subsequent workflow steps.

The default options are recommended as best practice, but advanced users can adjust the recommended settings, if required.
