1. Press Instrument>General.
2. Touch the number field to enter an offset value in millimeters (mm).
Plate Carrier Speed
For sensitive cell-based assays, especially when using low-density plates with large
wells, this setting may improve performance by preventing fluid from sloshing
around, potentially disturbing the cell mono-layer or spilling fluid during
processing. Setting the speed to Slow will apply during both Quick routines and
when running protocols.
Upload-Download Protocols (LHC Only)
The LHC lets you transfer protocols from your computer to your instrument and
back again.
1. Select Tools>Transfer Protocols.
2. Make sure the desired protocols are displayed: check the Protocol Folder path
for This computer. Refresh the list of protocols onboard the Instrument by
clicking the Settings link.
3. Highlight one or more protocols in a display box. (Hold the Ctrl or Shift key to
simultaneously select multiple files.)
4. Optionally, at the top left corner of the screen, choose to Disable Editing of
transferred protocols to lock the protocols from editing or deleting when they
are onboard the instrument.
5. Click the applicable Upload or Download button.
The LHC will confirm the transfer or prompt you for more information. When the
transfer is complete, you can manipulate the files as you normally would in their
new location.
Transfer Protocols (Touch Screen Only)
You can install protocols on the MultiFlo FX from a USBflash drive and,
conversely, upload protocols from the MultiFlo FX to a USB stick. This is useful for
sharing protocols with colleagues and obtaining protocols created or modified with
BioTek's LHC software.
