Plates library
The Plates library contains all plates that have been saved in the software (plates that
have been run and plates that have not yet been run).
Plate definition
A plate associates sample aributes (sample information and analysis information)
with a well position. A plate denes how samples are analyzed during capillary
electrophoresis and how sample les are named and stored after analysis.
When you create a plate, you specify:
• Plate type (sequencing, fragment, mixed, or HID)
• Number of wells, capillary length, and polymer type
When you set up a plate for a run, you add assays, optional le name conventions,
and optional results groups to wells in the plate. If you add these items from the
library, a copy of the items is added to the plate, and can be modied independently
from the original items stored in the library. For information on how changes are
tracked if auditing is enabled, see “Audit action“ on page 205.
Plate templates
The Plates library includes templates that specify the appropriate application type,
polymer, and capillary length. You can use these template to create new plates. To
create your own templates, see “Create a plate template“ on page 79.
Plate template names reect the run module associated with the plate (a plate
species an assay, an assay species an instrument protocol, and an instrument
protocol species a run module which contains data collection seings). Appendix B,
“Run modules and dye sets“ lists the run time and size or base range collected for
each run module.
