Preparing to Run a Protocol
NOTE: You can run a protocol in a secure folder without entering the password
first. See Securing Files in a Folder on page 19 for more information about files in
secure folders.
To run a protocol:
1. Load the samples in the block. Close the lid and set the lid force using instructions on
page 4.
2. Select RUN from the main menu. Press ENTER to confirm the selection and continue to
the next screen.
NOTE: The main menu status should show Block is idle. With a dual 48/48-well
reaction module, the status message is Blocks are idle when both blocks are
available to run a protocol.
3. Select a folder that contains the protocol file of interest, then press the right arrow key to
select the file. Press ENTER to confirm the selection and continue to the next screen.
NOTE: Select a protocol from the preinstalled protocols from the MAIN folder or
any user folder in the file tree.
