2. Select any one of the batches having the desired multi-batch
name.
3. Click Select. The system loads the multi-batch to the Run Batch
tab.
4. Click Eject/Retract to eject the plate holder.
5. Load the first microtiter plate onto the plate holder.

the plate holder and begin acquiring the multi-batch data.
Process Multiple
Plates
You can process multiple plates per batch or multi-batch as required.
After loading a batch or multi-batch that spans more than one plate, a
new plate appears to the immediate right of the existing plate image
on the screen. A dark blue line separates the adjacent columns of the
two plates. See Figure 60.

Note: Each batch within a
multi-batch appears on the list
of available multi-batches. The
software differentiates them
according to the batch ID,
name, and description.
However, the software gives all
batches comprising a multi-
batch the same multi-batch ID
number and name.
