Plate Format Parameters - Thermo Scientific Multiskan FC User Manual

Note!
It is recommended to back up the protocols regularly. The backup is created by exporting
the protocols to the USB memory device.
Note!
If you make any changes to the processing parameters of a measured run in the
Processing menu, the changes are made to that run only. If you want to make changes to the
protocol and thereby to the future runs, you must open the protocol, make the changes, and
press the FILE key/Save to save the changes.
Note!
When you press the START button, the software always loads the saved protocol,
regardless of what parameters are active on the display.
For instructions on how to start and create protocols, refer to Chapter 6: "Starting Ready-made
Protocols" and Chapter 7: "Protocol Creation".

Plate format parameters

You can select the plate format 96 or 384 in the Plate format window.
Note!
The 384 format is only available if the instrument configuration supports 384-well plate
measurements.
Note!
Use only plates manufactured according to ANSI/SBS standard dimensions.
The dimensions of the available plates are given in Table 5 and Table 6.
