• Samples are stable for 16–24 hours on the instrument.
• Load a maximum of 48 samples per plate if you use a long run module (Long
Seq, Long Seq BDX, and Long Frag Analysis). The long fragment analysis run
modules can take >24 hours to run an entire 96-well plate.
• Add samples to plates in columns. The default injection order is: A1–D1, E1–H1,
A2–D2, E2–H2....A12–D12, E12–H12.
