PerkinElmer Panthera-Puncher 9, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 30 / 42

Note: For Specimen Gate Laboratory users: If an analyte is in Specimen Gate Laboratory but not programmed locally in
the Panthera software, you cannot punch. You can still view and edit the local analyte settings on the Panthera-Puncher
9, but the Specimen Gate Laboratory settings are used when the Specimen Gate connection is active. Remember that
changing settings on the Panthera-Puncher 9 user interface does not update settings in Specimen Gate Laboratory.
When working in SG mode, changes to analyte settings must be made in both Specimen Gate Laboratory and the local
analyte settings of the Panthera-Puncher.
To avoid a programming conflict, the local analyte settings on the Panthera-Puncher 9 should match the Specimen
Gate programming. There are two cases in which the puncher could use the local settings even if you use Specimen
Gate Laboratory: when you switch off the SG connection, and if the SG connection is down (for example, because of
a network error). In the latter case, the software asks you whether you want to continue punching using the local
settings.
If an analyte available in Specimen Gate Laboratory is missing from the local settings, Panthera-Puncher 9 disables any
plate query coming from Specimen Gate Laboratory with that analyte until the analyte is available in the local settings.
In stand-alone mode, to edit settings for a particular analyte, press the corresponding button. A page displays the
analyte settings which are organized in six areas:
•
Punching
• Punches per well
• Card barcode rules
• Plate
• Plate maps
• Exporting
Punching
Setting Explanation
Punch size There are five supporetd disk diameter punch sizes:
• 1.5 mm
• 3.2 mm
• 3.8 mm
• 4.7 mm
• 6 mm
Initial punches Sets the number of disks to be punched in consecutive
wells for the initial punching.
Retest punches Sets the number of disks to be punched in consecutive
wells for the retest punching.
Punches per well
If you need to punch more than one disk into a single well, the Punches per well selection allows you to define the
disk amount up to four spots per well based on sample type (calibrator, control and patient) in stand-alone mode. The
punched disk count can be exported to an .xml file.
In stand-alone systems, the Punches per well setting affects both the initial and the retest runs.
The multiple disk per well feature for Panthera-Puncher 9 is available in Specimen Gate Laboratory starting from
version 1.7.
Note: When punching multiple disks to one well, if the instrument encounters a punching error and instructs you to
check the plate, there are two possibilities:
• If you request a repunch, you need to empty the well as all disks are repunched.
• If the well contains the correct number of disks (as in, the image of the well with the disks and the physical number
of disks in the well match), you can approve the message and continue punching the rest of the replicates.
