Fluorescence Plate Tests
BioTek Fluorescence Test Plate on page 87 introduces the test plate and references the
User Guide for the test methods. Use of the test plate is offered as an alternative to
conducting the fluorescence liquid tests described in the next section.
Requirements
Refer to the Getting Started section of the Fluorescence Test Plate User Guide for
information on the required materials and prerequisite tasks.
Test Procedure
The Qualification Tests section of the Fluorescence Test Plate User Guide contains a
procedure for cleaning the plate and then creating and running experiments based on
supplied Gen5 protocols.
As described in the User Guide, when each experiment is finished, Gen5 exports the
measurement data to a prepared Microsoft Excel .xls file. The worksheet(s) within that file
calculate results and determine pass or fail.
i For use with the Synergy H1, identify the reader-specific Gen5 protocols on the
USB flash drive that came with the test plate. Use only those protocols that apply to your
reader model and your organization's qualification requirements.
