Assigning assay rack ID(s)
The assigned assay rack ID will be used to create a rack file. The name of the rack file is
RackFile_rack ID .
Important
Be aware that some symbols may not be used in the rack file name and some
symbols will be converted.
Important
If the assay rack type is changed after a rack ID has been entered, the rack ID
will remain the same.
To assign rack IDs, follow the steps below.
1. Press Rack ID. The Manual Input screen appears.
2. Manually enter an assay rack ID. Alternatively, use the bar code scanner to
enter a rack ID.
The entered assay rack ID will appear in the corresponding “Assay” slot. If a
rack type has already been assigned to the “Assay” slot, the slot will now
appear blue.
3. Press the Automatic ID button. The software will automatically assign an ID
with the format SlotNr_RunID_Suffix (e.g., S5_1000017_0000).
A rack ID is automatically assigned to the selected “Assay” slot(s). If a rack
type has been assigned to the “Assay” slot(s), the slot(s) will now appear
blue.
Important
When using a Rotor-Disc, place the Rotor Disc onto the Rotor Disc adapter, the
adapter onto the Rotor Disc Adapter Base Unit QS, and the base unit onto slot
positions 4, 5, and 6.
