performed within a 1 minute processing window created by the timers. This timer
configuration ensures that the timing of washing after dispensing is identical for
every plate.
Once again, make sure there is sufficient time to process all the steps within the
step containers, and to incorporate any desired incubation or rest periods when
defining the timer-activated time period.
RUN: Running Predefined Protocols
BioTek provides numerous predefined protocols for maintaining the instrument
in top condition and for qualifying its performance. Review the Predefined
Protocols on the facing page.
To run a defined protocol:
LHC Touch screen

Select Open and locate the
MultiFlo FX folder.
2. Open the MultiFlo FX folder to
access the more folders.
Important: Be sure to Customize the
Predefined Protocols below
1. Touch a protocol on the Home or
Maintenance screen to select it.
2. Press Start to run it.
LHC Users Only: Customize the Predefined Protocols
BioTek provides predefined protocols for maintenance routines and instrument
qualification tests. You can quickly customize the protocols for regular use.
The LHC keeps track of the last-used COM port for an instrument type. For example,
when an EL406 runs a protocol, the LHC logs the COM port used and the next time an EL406
is used, the LHC applies the same COM port setting. You can disable this feature by defining
your Ports preference: select Tools>Preferences>Ports.
To correct the COM port for the current protocol, click the Port link and use the drop-down
list to select the correct value. The LHC stores the COM port value in the protocol file.
