Running an assay without the Assay Start Wizard
1. If the plate carrier is in the instrument, press the LOAD
button or click the Unload button on the toolbar.
The plate carrier will come out.
Note! The software button shows Unload if the plate
carrier is in the instrument and Load if it is out.
2. Load your first plate. Make sure the plate is orientated
correctly with the A1 position in the left hand corner
furthest from you. The plate should have a barcode on it
to select the protocol to be used to count it.
3. Press the START button on the instrument. The plate
carrier with the plate will go in to the instrument and
measurement will begin. During a run you can click
either the Pause or Stop buttons if you need to pause or
stop the measurement. Pressing the STOP button on the
instrument has the same effect.
4. You can follow the measurement by means of the plate
map with colors indicating the intensity of the signal
from each well. At the top of the window there is
information about the status of the measurement.
5. When the plate has been measured, the plate carrier will
come out and you can remove the plate. If more than
one plate has been defined in the protocol then load the
next one.
6. Press the START button on the instrument.
