Figure 1. Workflow of Microplate Manager
Microplate Manager can perform three general types of microplate readings. These
are called “Protocols.”
• Endpoint Protocols are used to acquire a single absorbance reading from each
well.
• Kinetic Protocols are used to acquire a series of absorbance readings from each
well over a user-defined interval. These Protocols are used to calculate reaction
velocities.
• Multiple Plate Protocols are used with a plate loader to collect Endpoint data
from a series of plates. Multiple Plate Protocols save each Endpoint data set in a
separate file.
First you select the type of Protocol that you want to create from the FILE menu.
Then you specify the settings for your particular Protocol and define or select a
