Setting up a run
Before starting a run, at least one plate must be created, and its name, plate type and dPCR
parameters must be defined. We recommend that you define plates and their specific parameters
(e.g. the run profile) using the QIAcuity Software Suite. For more information about setting up a
plate using the QIAcuity Software Suite, refer to Operating the QIAcuity Software Suite. For creating
a plate using the plate configurator of the instrument software, refer to Plate configuration
procedure.
Setting up an experiment
Note: A plate run can only be performed if the instrument is connected to the QIAcuity Software
Suite either through a network or a direct cable connection to the QIAcuity Software Suite server.
Loading the trays and starting a run
The Home/Running status screen shows the current status of the trays and the slots inside them. If
there are no plates loaded in the instrument, the screen displays empty panes and each pane has
the Plate is not loaded label. You can load eight plates with QIAcuity Eight, four plates with QIAcuity
Four, and one plate with QIAcuity One instrument.
