7.10 Plate Map Editor
To assist in experimental design and data analysis, the IncuCyte™
ZOOM software includes a Plate
Map Editor that allows the User to custom-design a plate map for any microplate-based
experiment. The User may design and save a plate map at any point before or during an
experiment, or after the experiment has been completed. Access to the Plate Map Editor is
available from four locations:
Main IncuCyte screen: Select “Plate Map…” in the File menu at the top of the window.
From this location the User may save a plate map to a file, but not to an individual vessel.
Schedule Scans screen under the Properties tab
Vessel View window under the Properties tab
The User may open the Plate Map Editor independently of the main IncuCyte software by
browsing for the IncuCyte GUI program group via the Windows “Start” menu in the lower left
of a Windows desktop.
With the Plate Map Editor open, the default screen is set to a blank 96-well plate layout. To
change the plate layout, click on the New Plate Map (blank sheet) icon on the menu bar at the
top-left of the window. The Plate Map Editor supports plate layouts from 6-well to 384-well
formats. Refer to for Figure 29 for an overview of the Plate Map Editor. To load a plate map
already saved to a file, click on the Open (folder) icon on the menu bar and browse to the file.
