Plate Format Selection
The GloMax
®
-Multi+ Detection System is capable of measuring 6- to 384-well
formats in all detection modes. It is necessary to ensure that the plate adapter is
in the correct orientation according to plate format. Incorrect plate positioning
can damage the instrument and may result in sample loss. In the case of low-
density formats (6-, 12-, 24- and 48-well plates), users have the option to select
either single or multiple readings per well. The instrument reads from A1 to
A12, B2 to B12, etc. The read speed is similar in both the horizontal and vertical
reading directions.
1. Select the Read screen, then touch the "Plate Format" button to call up the
plate selection window (Figure 18).
2. Select from the menu of plate formats for the option that is required.

1. Touch the "Door" button to automatically open the instrument door and
eject the Microplate Sample Tray.
2. Remove the plate adapter (Figure 65) by popping the plate adapter out
from the bottom and orient it so that the label for the desired plate format
shows an arrow pointing towards the interior of the instrument.
