Appendix A Micro Fluidic Card Information CD
Applied Biosystems Micro Fluidic Card Getting Started Guide 37
Card map files also indicate the
• Micro Fluidic Card Configuration and part number. In Figure 1
above, the card uses Configuration 3, which has a part number
of 4342251.
• Production Number of the card. Each custom Micro Fluidic
Card is assigned a unique production number. This number
appears as part of the file names of AIF, cardmap, and SDS
setup files. In Figure 1 above, the production number of the card
is 143382.
Each Micro Fluidic Card Information CD contains two card map
files, one in HTML format, and the other in spreadsheet format.
Card Map Files in HTML Format
The prodNum_cardmap.html file contains the card map for your
custom Micro Fluidic Card in HTML format. For example,
143382.cardmap.html is the name of the HTML card map file in
Figure 1 on page 36.
Open the HTML card map when you want to view the map in a
browser.
Card Map Files in Spreadsheet Format
The prodNum_cardmap.xls contains the card map for your custom
Micro Fluidic Card as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. For example,
143382.cardmap.xls is the name of the Excel spreadsheet for the
card map file in Figure 1 on page 36.
Open the card map file as a spreadsheet when you want to print the
card map on one page.
SDS Setup File
The SDS setup file contains information specific to your Micro
Fluidic Card, such as detector/reporter and task for each well. You
can import this file to create SDS documents or templates, as
explained in “Creating Micro Fluidic Card Documents” on page 20.
The SDS setup file is shipped in text format,
SDS_prodNum.txt.
For example, the setup file for the card shown in Figure 1 is
SDS_143382.txt.
IMPORTANT! Modifying the contents of the file can corrupt the
information on the Micro Fluidic Card.
