In a third-party lab automation system
You can set up the PlateLoc in a third-party lab automation system. To
install the PlateLoc in the system, you must connect the device to the
controlling computer. You can operate the integrated PlateLoc using the
third-party software. The integrated PlateLoc allows you to automate the
loading and sealing of multiple plates in one run.
Note: Communication between the third-party system and the PlateLoc
is achieved through the use of ActiveX controls.
