Pausing the BD High Throughput Sampler
To pause during a run, click Pause in the Acquisition Dashboard.
The HTS unit finishes processing the current well (or wells in high throughput
mode), and then remains in a suspended state until you choose to continue.
• To continue the run, click Resume .
• To stop the run, click Stop Well(s) or Stop Plate .
This sequence allows you to stop the run early to minimize additional sample
loss.
Keep a record of acquisition status by printing a copy of the Setup view
immediately after acquisition is complete. Refer to the printout if you
reanalyze or export the data. If you export a data file or an experiment that
contains incomplete data, the software cannot recognize that the file is
incomplete.
