Overview of plate records
A plate record is similar to a plate, sample sheet, or injection list that you may have
used with other instruments.
The first screen in a plate record specifies
the following information.
• Plate attributes—Barcode, name,
owner, operator, number of wells,
and sealing option.
• Scheduling (injection order by plate
quadrant)—Allows you to specify
the order of injection by quadrant on
384-well plates or 96-well plates
(48-capillary array). For more
information, see “Default injection
