78 BD High Throughput Sampler User’s Guide
Preparing for Acquisition
Optimizing Cytometer and HTS Settings
The default settings provide good starting points to achieve optimal throughput
in either mode, but the settings should be optimized for your plate type and
sample volume.
1 Click the Setup tab of the Plate window.
2 Click each setup control well, view the Cytometer Settings, and verify that
they are the same as defined in step 1 in Setting Up the Plate on page 67.
3 Remove the safety cover on the HTS unit and place the prepared plate on
the plate holder.
Make sure the plate corresponds to the type selected in the software. Orient
the plate with well A1 at the back-right corner of the stage. See Figure 3-14
on page 79.
To prevent damage to the HTS probe, always remove the multiwell plate
cover before you put the plate on the holder.
