4. Enter the lot name for the exported lot into the File Name box.
5. Click Save, then click OK. The dialog box closes. After you
click OK, you can use the lot target values with the next
calibration or verification.
The system saves the lot to the existing software as a lot accessible
for the next calibration and/or verification. Once you export the
desired calibration or control lot you can save it to disk to import to
another computer.
Batch Setup Procedures
A batch consists of a group of samples processed under control of a
template. Batches are set up using templates defined by assay kit
manufacturers. Batches consist of templates and samples for
acquisition, and can span more than one plate. Templates contain
predefined commands that must be included in every batch
acquisition.
You can group batches together as a multi-batch. Multi-batches can
consist of any number of batches that have been setup from different
assay templates and are processed consecutively.
The assay kit manufacturer may provide templates in the kits, which
they distribute on diskette or CD. Templates typically include assay
standards, controls, and maintenance commands (such as washes or
primes to acquire along with samples). OEM manufacturers may
provide templates pre-installed with your system.
The kit manufacturer includes assay reagents in the assay kit. You
must provide information about these reagents, such as lot numbers
and concentration values for the standards and assay controls.
A batch can include samples across more than one plate. When
setting up a batch, if the number of samples exceeds the wells in one
microtiter plate, another plate appears for additional samples. The
new plate appears to the immediate right of the existing plate image
on the screen with a dark line between the adjacent columns of the
two plates.
During acquisition, the Run Batch tab displays the wells containing
the samples in the microtiter plate. Colors indicate the progress in
analyzing the samples. The following well colors indicate well-
acquisition states:
