Configuring Protocols
39
When a chip is loaded, Chip ID, Expiration Date, and Date Used are
automatically populated for the chip.
For experiments, the inserted chip must be the same type that is
specified in the protocol. If they do not match, a warning appears. If the
chip type is not changed, the software updates the Chip panel; this
setting cannot be changed once the run has started.
Note: In the unlikely event that the barcode reader does not
recognize the chip, you can enter the barcode in the editable
Chip ID box on the Instrument Control screen.
4. Use the radio buttons in the Autosampler Layout panel to reflect what is
currently in the instrument — one rack or two microplates. You can
change the rack or microplates configuration only before an experiment
is started.
Note: Once you click Start on the Run screen, the autosampler
parameters cannot be changed.
When an experiment is created, the Autosampler Layout is validated. A
warning appears in the panel if the layout defined for the experiment is
different from that of the instrument.
5. In the Vial or Well boxes in the Autosampler Layout panel, specify the
vial volume for the sample rack (up to 1.5 ml) or the microplate well
volume (up to 350
μ
l).
The volume can be changed for protocols that have not been run.
When sample panels are associated with a protocol step, the volume of
the sample required for the sample panel is compared against the vial
