3.3.3 Advanced Protocol Editor Features
Additional capabilities can be accessed through the “Options” pull-down
menu (Figure 34).
x
By enabling “Extension Time” the user has access to the
extension time parameter for all commands. The default
extension times have been selected to give maximum
flexibility to the built-in protocol scheduler without impacting
separation performance. If the default times are altered, for
example to allow scheduling of unusual protocols, the desired
combination of protocols should be tested in a “wet” run (with
water) prior to use in a cell separation experiment to verify
that all actions are completed as expected.
x
The “Customize Vial Names” menu selection brings up a
dialog box that allows the user to change the names of tubes
and reagent vials as they appear on the Loading screen. This
feature can be used to create names in different languages,
or to make the names more appropriate for a given set of
custom applications. Highlight the default name you wish to
change and enter a new name (Figure 35).
Note: Names longer than 50 characters may not fit properly
on the user interface.
x
The “Multiple Samples Selection” menu allows the advanced
user to create customized protocols to process multiple
samples. Please contact STEMCELL Technologies for more
information.
3.4 SAVING A PROTOCOL
The “Save” option will not be available until the protocol is validated by
the editor. To do this, click the “Check Protocol” button located at the
top-right corner of the editor console (Figure 25). If successful, the
symbol beside the “Check Protocol” button will turn from a cross (X) to
a tick (
—
) (Figure 36). The “Check Protocol” function ensures that all
information that is critical for protocol execution is present. It does not
ensure that your protocol is correctly programmed.
3.5 PRINTING A PROTOCOL
Under the “File” menu, there is an option to print out the protocol. This
can be used for record keeping, debugging, or troubleshooting with
STEMCELL Technologies Technical Support.
