• Local instrument prole—All plates and results are stored on the instrument
under a local instrument prole.
• Connect cloud-based platform instrument prole—When you link your local
instrument prole to your Connect platform account, a Connect platform
instrument prole is created. With a Connect platform instrument prole:
– You can save results and data les directly to your Connect platform account,
access plate setups that you create in the SeqStudio
™
Plate Manager on the
Connect platform or desktop, and monitor instrument runs from the Connect
platform.
– All plate setups, data les, and results are automatically copied to your
Connect platform account if the plate setup Save location is set to Cloud.
In this scenario, your local instrument prole name is created manually on the
instrument before you link. Your local instrument prole name diers from your
Connect cloud-based platform instrument prole name.
If you link to the Connect platform when you are signed in to the instrument:
