Tube Layout
If using a 72-Well Rotor, samples can be arranged to closely match the labeling on a 9 x 8 block.
By default, the tube layout tab allows samples to be labeled sequentially (i.e., 1, 2, 3…). This
means that samples are labeled consecutively in the order in which they are placed in the Rotor-
Gene Q MDx. Alternatively, samples can be labeled 1A, 1B, 1C, etc. This option can be useful if
samples were set up with a multichannel pipet.
