It is necessary for me to add the following mobility data to "phradpar.dat", using ET terminator kit on ABI373 and ABI3100. For using phred with ABI3130 or 3730, click here.

"DYEnamicª ET Term. {US80872}"    terminator      energy-transfer          ABI_373_377
"DT3100POP6{ETv2}50cm.mob"        terminator      energy-transfer          ABI_3100
"DT3100POP4{ETv2}80cm.mob"        terminator      energy-transfer          ABI_3100

     It is a problem how to process a Mac-specific character which appears in the file name of ABI373 mobility for ET kit. It is difficult to edit this character ("ª") with editors on Linux such as gedit. I used an editor on Mac (Tex Edit-Plus) which can handle both Mac-specific and control characters to edit the file. Then I replaced the line separators $0D with $0A and saved. Otherwise it is possible to edit the character codes of the file directly with a binary editor.

editing phredpar.dat

The character code for the concerned character is $AA. I also added the following lines to the file for use of POP-5 on 80cm and POP-7 on 50cm capillaries.

"DT3100POP5{BDv3}v1.mob"          terminator      big-dye                  ABI_3100
"DT3100POP5{ET}.mob"              terminator      energy-transfer          ABI_3100
"DT3100POP7{BDv3}.mob"            terminator      big-dye                  ABI_3100
"DT3100POP7{ET}.mob"              terminator      energy-transfer          ABI_3100
