well, and you can also set and change the wells to contain different sample types, patient sample, controls, calibrators

or empty wells. You cannot alter wells with spots already punched into them.
To select a single well, press it. To select multiple wells, drag your fingers across the plate to select an area containing

the wells you want. The wells are selected based on the filling order (row or column). To select a single column, press

the corresponding number and, similarly, if you want to select a row, press the corresponding letter. To select the whole

plate with a single touch, press the upper left corner of the plate.
The calibrator button opens a sub-view where you can view and select all calibrator levels. There is a similar

functionality for controls too. The

Patients

sample type represents unknown samples and the

Empty

type represents

wells that will not be used at all for punching. The

Punched

type represents samples that have been punched outside

the instrument or for instance a liquid control that you want the system to show in the worklist. If a well is marked as

Punched

, it will be displayed as a black disk on a white background until it has been assigned an ID.

Note:

The well will appear as empty in the worklist if no ID has been assigned to it.

Note: Punched

is not to be used when attached to Specimen Gate Laboratory. Using it will cause wells to appear as

empty in Specimen Gate Laboratory.
Greyed out wells in this view belong to the explanatory classes:

Class

Explanation

Repunch sample

For samples that will be punched to the same well again.

Bad well

Wells that contain some kind of error.

Start location

The first patient punching location, if not the first patient

location. This may be set for a plate through the loading

template.

If you select a well that has already been punched into, the sample info is displayed on the right side of the plate map.

Note:

Editing a punched well requires you to be in

Check

mode under the

Punch

view.

If you want to export the plate data manually, press the

Export as

button and in the dialog that appears, select the

export file type and location where you want to save it.

Note:

Only one folder path is stored for manual exporting and importing. If you have imported a file previously and

you now want to export data, the default folder path is that of the file previously imported. If needed, remember to

change the folder path to point to the correct location.
If a plate needs to be reloaded to the instrument, you can recover its data either from the recovery file or from a

panthera.xml type export file, if available. To enable plate data import, the plate must have the same plate barcode, the

same analyte, and it cannot contain any new disk, i.e punched after it was unloaded. There are many folders where the

plate data can be located, so if you cannot immediately see the data file, please check the following folders: panthera

exports and its subdirectories, panthera recovery or any other possible export locations you might have set. Clicking

the path-input box will open a directory browser that provides quick links to the Panthera export and Panthera recovery

locations.
To pack all the wells on the plate, press

Pack

. This makes it so the controls appear after the last punched patient well.

For plates that do not have end controls, packing removes all the empty wells from the plate map. The

Pack

function

works as described above in stand-alone mode. With Specimen Gate Laboratory,

Pack

works only if the assay has been

programmed to have End Controls in Specimen Gate.
If for any reason you need to assign a note to a particular well, select that well and press inside the

Note

field on the

right of the plate map. The software will show you the

Note

screen, in which you can either enter text (free form) into

the

Current note

field or select one of the previously entered notes. The software remembers the last 12 notes that

have been entered. If needed, PerkinElmer personnel can lock notes in the list for you, so that they are never removed,

even if they have not been used for some time. The total number of notes allowed by the software is 12 regardless of

whether they are locked or first in first out.
