• Use the alpha and numeric keys to choose the well location to begin
the assay. Wells A01 through H01 are valid for
ACROSS
mapping; A01
through H12 are valid for
DOWN
.
• Repeat this process for each assay within the panel. Remain aware of
the total number of controls, standards, and blanks that were originally
mapped in each assay while mapping for the panel assay.
•
For example, to include Assays 1, 8, and 22 in the Panel assay (
DOWN
mapping is selected for the Panel):
Assay 1 has a total of 12 wells defined for controls, blanks, and
standards. In the Panel, the mapping for Assay 1 begins in well A01.
The user wants to run 6 samples in Assay 1. Assay 1 now fills wells
A01 through B03.
The mapping for Assay 8 can begin in well B04, or any well other
than A01 to B03. The reader will “chirp” if you try to map into a
well that is already assigned for use with the Panel.
The mapping for Assay 22 may begin at the next available well
location after Assay 8 mapping is complete.
After all the assays have been entered into the Panel, consider
printing the Panel’s Map Report to verify the map before reading
the plate. Choose
REPORT
(from the Main Menu),
MAP
,
ASSAY 99
.
The reader will print the map of each assay configured in the Panel.
The Panel Assay results are sorted by sample (unless a custom
assay has been programmed by Bio-Tek).
Note: The interpretation of Results reports for each assay in the Panel
will print first, and then the Sample results will print.
