Protocol Management
The GloMax
®
-Multi+ Detection System is designed to be easy to use straight
out of the box. The GloMax
®
-Multi+ Detection System has a built-in PC. This
gives the instrument the capability of creating, storing and retrieving user-
defined protocols. The preset protocols contain run parameters for Promega
and other routine luminescence, fluorescence and absorbance assays. The
protocol wizards guide you in setting up all required parameters for a run. At
the end of the wizards, insert the sample plate then touch the “Start” button.
Figure 6. Protocol options on the Home screen.
On the Home screen, there are
two protocol selection buttons:
•
New Protocol:
Allows you to create new protocols. Touching this button
launches the New Protocol wizard. It guides you through a series of steps
to define a protocol. After completing the wizard, you may save the
protocol under the User list of protocols.
•
Select Protocol:
Allows you to retrieve stored protocols. There are two
types of stored protocols: Preset and User. The convenient preset protocols
are permanently stored on the instrument and cannot be renamed or
deleted. However, a modified version of these preset protocols can be
saved into the User protocol list. Customized User protocols can be
modified, renamed or deleted at any time.
6.A. Defining a New Protocol Using the Instrument Control Panel
1. Select and drag the desired “Protocol Option” over to the “Protocol
Composer” (Figure 7).
2. With the “Protocol Option” icon chosen, define the plate layout and optical
kit (Figure 8).
Note:
Once a plate format has been selected, this format will become the
default setting for all subsequent selections.
