been established.

2.
There is an option to set a delay time before the first measurement is made.
The delay time can be set between 0-150 minutes.
3.
The instrument can be set up for a single run of multiple runs. To read the
plate once, select “1” in number of runs. To run the same plate multiple
times, select a
number for multiple runs. You can select up to 999 runs of
the same plate with up to a 999-second delay between the end of one run
and the start of the next run.
4.
The GloRunner™ will automatically eject the microwell plate at the end of
the run. If you prefer to temporarily store the plate within the instrument
after the run, select the “Delay, before microplate ejection” option. The
plate can be stored inside the instrument for up to 150 minutes after the run
has been completed. Once the delay time has expired, the plate will be
ejected.
5.
The measurement duration may also be selected. The measurement
duration is the time in which the detectors sit over the well. During this
time the measurements are averaged for more accurate measurements.
Note:
A longer measurement time does not mean larger RLU values.
