Run plates with the automated barcode workflow
The automated barcode workflow includes the following steps and instrument actions:
•
You create plate files, then load the plates into the instrument.
•
The instrument automatically links the plate files to the loaded plates by matching the barcodes.
•
The instrument performs pre-run checks (see “Pre-run check messages and plate alerts during a
run” on page 146).
•
The instrument performs additional automated barcode workflow pre-run checks to ensure that
sucient polymer volume is available to run all plates and that required e-signatures are present.
The barcode reader function must be enabled for this workflow. See “Enable/disable the internal
barcode reader (administrator only)” on page 459.
Note: If you create the plate files after you load the plates in the instrument, the plate files are not
automatically linked to plates and additional pre-run checks for the automated barcode workflow are
not performed.
Create the plate files before the barcoded plates are loaded into the drawer
IMPORTANT! Before setting up plates for the automated barcode workflow, check consumables
status (see “Check consumables status” on page 66). Ensure that the remaining number of injections
and consumables volumes are sucient for the plates you are preparing to run. Ensure that no
consumables will exceed the expiration date during the run.
