Plate Layout
The plate layout is a representation of a multiwell plate. The plate layout in the
Setup view is where you add samples, setup controls, and cytometer settings to
the plate. You can also copy and paste HTS settings, rearrange samples, add
wells, assign keywords, and set recording rules. Once you have set up the plate
layout, you can print the view to use as a guide when adding samples to the
multiwell plate. For information on the functions you can perform in Setup view,
see Setup View Functions on page 43.
The plate layout in the Setup view displays the run sequence and status of each
well.
• Wells are numbered according to sample type (setup controls first,
compensation controls second, specimens last), and then the order
assigned.
• During setup or acquisition, wells are colored according to their status.
See Table 2-1.
• After acquisition is complete, wells are colored according to acquisition
status. See Table 2-2 on page 36.
The basic layout of each well appears as follows:
