This box prompts you to load the plate and then click Loaded (or F6)
once you have done so.
Note
If the plate load sequence is not strictly sequential, Note plate
number messages will be displayed as a reminder to load the correct
plate.
If the plate has an identification code you want to track, scan the bar
code on the plate using a USB bar code reader attached to your
computer, or enter its identification number manually into the Plate ID
(optional) field.
Note
If Require and validate plate ID option has been selected in
Run Settings, you must enter a Plate ID and re-enter that ID each time
the plate is re-loaded so it can be validated.
Place the well plate on the plate holder. Ensure the plate sits within the
metal guides on all sides. The plate clamp at the top left of the holder
will close automatically when the plate moves from the “load” position.
•
Make sure the plate is completely level and down on the
destination plate holder.
•
Ensure that the A1 well position (upper-left-most well in the
grid) is at the top-left corner of the destination plate holder.
