3.2 Loading Microarray Slides
Press the insert/eject magazine button on the front of the instrument to
open the stacker cover, remove the slide magazine to load/unload slides, and
reinsert the slide magazine. Learn more about slide handling and
loading/unloading in
Chapter B, System Description .
STOP
Do not start the instrument software during the initialization process
that the Microarray Scanner performs after slide magazine insertion.
Doing so may cause the software to shut down unexpectedly.
3.3 Specifying Parameters
The instrument software workspace (refer to page 83) displays a green
rectangle in the Magazine Control for an occupied position (Slide Present)
in the slide magazine. Choose a slide to scan during the next run by selecting
the
Select Scan checkbox. Specify scan parameters using the Parameter
Control. Adjust the output file format, path for data storage, and the name
generation setting using the File Settings Control. Define the scan, barcode,
and autogain areas using the Area Definition Control (
Chapter C,
Operation ).
For NimbleGen 2.1M, 3x720K, and 12x135K arrays, use the default
settings for the scan region.
For NimbleGen 385K and 4x72K arrays, it is recommended that you
reduce the scan area to reduce the scan time.
The parameter settings can be saved for future retrieval.
3.4 Scanning
Start scanning all selected slides by clicking Start/Stop Scan in the Scan
Control. Store collected data in the default directory (E:\Data\NimbleGen
MS 200) or specify another location in the File Definition Control (
Chapter
C, Operation ).
