added to the multi-batch. The patient list appends to the first well
occupied without a command.

patient list, the patient list is placed in the first available empty
well location following the defined patient commands.

Different batches within the multi-batch are separated by thick
red lines above the first well and below the last well of each
batch.

batches you selected or created on the microtiter plate.
16. Click Eject and load the first plate of the multi-batch.
17. Click Start Plate to begin acquiring data from the multiple
batches in the sequence that you set up.
Note: Batches may span
more than one plate. When the
first plate is full, a blue line
appears to separate the
columns of the first plate and
those of the second plate.
Note: If any of the acquire
sample commands within the
template of the batch has an
unassigned Sample ID, the
system applies the first patient
ID in the list to the unassigned
sample acquisition command.
The system appends any
remaining patient IDs to the
end of the command list in
order as they appear in the
patient list.
Note: Multi-batches may span
more than one plate. A blue
line separates the first plate
and the second plate. A scroll-
bar appears along the bottom
of the microtiter plate image so
you can view additional plates.
