After a set of measurements is complete, users can manually advance the sample
names and well illumination by clicking the
and
arrows above the well plate
map in the bottom left. This will prepare the instrument software for the next set of
measurements. Alternatively, users can click the 3-dot menu
above the well plate
map and enable Auto Advance. Auto Advance sets the software to automatically
advance the columns a few seconds after the last measurement is made.
The entire well plate map interface can be hidden by clicking on the plate icon
.
Manual Sample ID Entry
Users can manually enter sample names using a keyboard or barcode scanner.
When sample names are entered manually, the user needs to activate each channel
they wish to measure. To activate/inactive all channels at once, click the circle in the
column header area next to Sample. Alternatively, users can activate/inactivate
individual channels by clicking the circles within each row.
View History
Whether you collect one sample or many in a row, after you choose End Experiment,
the acquired data are automatically saved in an experiment with an experiment
name. In the default configuration, experiments are stored in the NanoDrop Eight
database according to acquisition date, experiment name,
assigned labels.
Use the History feature to open the database in order to view acquired spectra and
associated data from any experiment at any time.
