3-32 Operation
• Use the NUMERIC keys to enter a value for Number of Control
Replicates. The range is 1 to 12 replicates. The software performs a
check to ensure the number of replicates, multiplied by the number
of controls, does not exceed the number of undefined wells
remaining on the plate.
• Use the CLEAR key to clear the displayed Number of Replicates
value.
LOCATION OF CONTROLS
This option (Figure 3-41) allows the user to enter the location of the controls
in the assay. If automatic map generation is selected, only the location field
that is displayed is editable.

• Use the CLEAR key to clear the value on the display.
• Use the NUMERIC & ALPHA keys: Use these keys to enter
characters and numeric values for valid well locations, depending
on the plate geometry. Valid locations are:
VALID WELL LOCATIONS
⇒ For all prompts of a well location, only the ALPHA keys are
active for the first character and numeric for the second and
third character.
NUMBER OF SAMPLES
This option (Figure 3-42) allows the user to enter the number of samples that
will be used in the assay. Any previously defined value appears on the
display. If the number of samples is altered, the number of replicates for the
sample defaults to a value of 1.
