This chapter presents a quick overview of common tasks performed with the
QuantaSmart™ software.
How to Get Started
When you are ready to begin a counting procedure, you will need to perform the
following tasks:
1. Calibrate and Normalize the instrument.
2. Select an assay type: Alpha Beta, Alpha Beta Standards, CPM Assay, DPM
Single, DPM Dual, DPM Triple, FS DPM, Direct DPM, Quench Standards, Single
Photon Counting. Note: DPM Dual is optional on 2800 series instruments. DPM
Triple is optional on 2800 and 2900 series instruments.
3. For any DPM assay except Direct DPM, create quench data.
4. Define and save the new assay parameters.
5. Associate (link) the assay parameters to a protocol.
6. Attach the correct protocol flag to the first cassette to be counted and load the
cassette(s) with samples.
7. Begin sample counting. Do not use the system’s CD writer while the instrument
is counting.
