3 CUSTOMIZING ROBOSEP™
RoboSep™ is provided with a set of protocols optimized for use with “typical” samples. Using the provided RoboSep™ Protocol Editor,
users can customize protocols for their specific applications and add them to the global protocol database. Users can also customize
the list of protocols that are available to them during an experiment.
Please note: A keyboard and mouse should be connected to RoboSep™ before using the features described in this section.
3.1 PROTOCOL DATABASES
Protocol databases are listed on the Profile page under the Instrument Tasks
tab (Figure 22). The Preset Protocol Databases list contains the global
protocol list (All) as well as lists based on desired cell species (All Human, All
Mouse, All Other) and sample type (e.g. All Whole Blood). The Custom
Users list can contain up to 5 user-defined protocol databases.
3.1.1 The Global Database
A list of all the available protocols will appear (Figure 23) by selecting the
“Protocol List” button. Custom protocols can be added to the list by pressing
the “Add” button located at the bottom left of the screen from the Profile
page. This will bring up a standard Windows dialog box giving access to
protocol files on a USB memory stick or a shared folder on a networked
computer. See Section 3.2 for details on creating custom protocols.
To remove protocols from the global database, highlight a protocol and
select the “Remove” button. The selected protocol is moved from the
protocol folder to an archived sub-folder. To retrieve an archived protocol,
open the protocol with the protocol editor as described in Section 3.2.2 –
Editing an Existing Protocol – and save it in the main protocols directory.
3.1.2 Creating and Modifying Custom Databases
RoboSep™ allows you to create up to 5 custom user protocol databases.
1. Select the “Modify/Update” button under the “Profile” tab. A
new screen will appear (Figure 22).
2. Enter the desired User Name. This name will appear in the
Custom Users list on the Profile page (Figure 22).
3. Select a protocol from the Current List of Protocols on the left
and press the “Add” or “Remove” button, as appropriate
(Figure 24). Repeat until the User Protocol list on the right
contains all desired protocols.
4. Press “Save.” The User Name is now associated with the list
of User Protocols
3.1.3 Loading Databases
Go to the Profile page under the “Instrument Tasks” tab.
1. Select a Custom User or Preset Protocol Database (Figure
22).
2. Press “Load.”
The protocols in that database will now be available for use through the
“Sample Processing” tab.

and preset protocol databases.
