5. In QuantaSoft Software, click
Setup
in the left navigation bar to define your experiment (see Chapter 3),
then click
Run
. The run indicator light (far right) flashes green to indicate droplet reading is in progress.
6. When droplet reading is complete, all four indicator lights are solid green. Open the door and remove the
plate holder from the unit. Remove the 96-well PCR plate from the holder and discard it.
Tip:
Make sure the plate holder lid is flat on top of the plate and the clamps are locked down. Failure to
do so could cause the sampling needle to run into the lid, damaging the instrument.
Fig. 4. Correct and incorrect placement of the plate holder.
Note the release tabs are in the “up” position in the incorrect
placement at right.
