Creating a Custom Template Format
½
This feature is only available to users of the Ultramark.
If the layout of your microplate is not listed, select Custom. A dialog box will open,
allowing you to create a new template format.
Figure 14. Creating a custom template.
In this dialog box, if the template format you want is listed, simply double-click on it
to select it (or click on it once to highlight it, then click on the Select button to select
it).
•
To copy a format, click on the format name, then click on Copy. The copy will
have the original format name plus a “:1” extension. You can then modify the
copy (see below). This is useful if two microplates have the same number of
wells, but the physical dimensions of the plates are different.
•
To delete a format, click on the format name, then click on Remove. You will be
asked to confirm the deletion.
•
To close the dialog box without selecting a template, click on the Cancel button.
•
To add a format, click on the Add button. To modify or rename an existing
format, click on it, then click on Modify. Both of these buttons will open the
Define Plate Format dialog box.
