5.9 View and edit information using the
right-hand pane
Before setting up a reaction list, all plate functions must be
configured. This can be done using the right-hand pane. The
right-hand pane refers to the area on the right-hand side of
the software workspace. Left-click on a plate in the main
software window to view information relating to plate
function in the right-hand pane.
A plate, segment, or well can have 1 of 7 functions — “Tip”,
“Standard”, “Reagent”, “Mix”, “Sample”, “Reaction”, or
“Diluent”. All functions, except “Diluent”, have an associated
right-hand pane. See Sections 5.9.1 to 5.9.6 for more
detailed information about these right-hand panes.
When a run is in progress, a progress report is displayed in
the right-hand pane. See Section 5.9.8.
5.9.1 Tip
Tip availability is updated in real time while the software is
operating, and is recorded when software is shut down. Tip
availability should therefore be correct when the software is
restarted. However, correct tip availability should always be
checked before starting a run.
