6. If acquiring data from more than one plate, empty the waste bottle

and refill the sheath bottle after each plate (if HTF not present). Select

Wash Between Plates and follow the instructions for fluidics

maintenance. Then repeat the

Prepare Protocol and Acquire Data

steps.
NOTE: Use the Wash Between Plates command after every plate

run to reduce the possibility of clogging the instrument.

7. When data acquisition is complete, select Shut Down and

follow the instructions.

Reacquire Data
It is possible to acquire data from a well or plate a second time using the
Rerun/Recovery mode located below Start in Step 7 (Run Protocol).
1. Check the wells where data will be acquired a second time.

Any previous data will be overwritten.

2. Remove the buffer by vacuum filtration and add 125 µl of assay

buffer to each well. Cover the filter plate with a new sheet of

sealing tape.

3. Repeat

Acquire Data steps 1–6 to acquire data a second time.

The data acquired should be similar to the data acquired initially;

however, the data acquisition time will be extended since fewer

beads are present in each well.
