Scanning Multiple Microplates
Up to six microplates with standard dimensions can be scanned by
choosing
File > Scan Multiple Plates
in the Odyssey
®
Software (not
available from the front panel or browser software). Individual scan
files are produced for each microplate. When scanning fewer than
six microplates, add the plates in one-through-six order as shown
below.
Figure 3-5
. Plate order for multiple microplates.
The first well in the first row (A1) for each microplate should be in
the upper left corner as you face the Odyssey instrument. Consult the
Odyssey User Guide for details on the
Scan Multiple Plates
function.
Note:
If the microplates are poorly centered in the images, try adjusting the grid
template to match the grid to the wells in the image. If some wells are truncated or the
grid is off the image, the Multiple Scan Settings can be used to change the scan offset
to center the wells on the image for new scans (see the Odyssey User Guide,
Chapter 2).
