Acquisition Mode
There are two ways to run plate-based acquisition on the HTS: automatically in
sequence or manually one well at a time. See Running Samples Automatically in
Sequence in the following section and Running Wells Manually on page 47 for a
description of each mode.
Running Samples Automatically in Sequence
When running samples in sequence, use the HTS Controls in the Acquisition
Dashboard. Data collection proceeds automatically according to sequence
number.
Select noncontiguous samples by holding down the Ctrl-key while clicking
individual specimens, or select a range of samples using the mouse. Wells are run
in the following order:
• setup controls
• compensation controls
• specimen wells
NOTICE When a sequence is in progress, the ability to select a well in the plate
layout is disabled.
During a sequence, the acquisition buttons have the following function:
• Run Plate/Stop Plate toggle button—starts recording data for all wells in
the plate; terminates the sequence after recording data for the current well.
The system flushes any remaining sample that was aspirated.
• Run Well(s)/Stop Well(s) toggle button—starts recording for all wells
selected in the sequence; terminates the sequence after recording data for
the current well. The system flushes any remaining sample that was
aspirated.
