this to understand the correlation between the Target Instrument Settings and the
protocol.
Get settings from:
l Instrument: BioTek configures and tests the 405 LS at the factory before shipping it. If
you have not changed the instrument's onboard settings, you can safely click the Get
actual settings now link to upload the correct settings from the instrument.
l Settings file: If you have previously saved the instrument's settings to a file (using the
Save link), click this link to import them.
l This screen: manually define the instrument's settings and click OK. This option does
not affect the instrument's onboard configuration settings. It lets you define protocols for
an instrument with the specified components.
Configured with:
Select the appropriate devices to identify your instrument's components:
l Washer Manifold:
96-tube Single 96-well plates only
96-tube Double 96-well and 384-well plates
192-tube 384-well plates only
l Buffer Switching: when this external valve module is installed for automatically
switching wash buffers/reagents for either the washer or Syringe dispenser.
l Vacuum Filtration: when the instrument is equipped with the special carrier for
washing filter-bottom microplates.
l Ultrasonic Advantage: when the instrument is equipped with the stainless steel
reservoir and ultrasonic cleaning capability.
Save Settings File
If you have multiple instruments or use one instrument in multiple configurations,
you can create unique settings files for each configuration and save time when
defining protocols for that configuration.
Click the Save link and use Windows' file-saving dialog to create a .SET file based
on the currently-selected parameters. Then use the Get "settings from a previously
saved" link to load the parameters.
