3. Tap Close Tray or press the physical button on the instrument to close the tray.
The instrument scans the barcodes on the plates. The instrument detects the availability of the
plate and the label of the corresponding pane changes to Plate is detected. If the barcode
matches to an existing experiment in the Software Suite, the loaded plate pane displays the
defined run setup and can be started.
Note: In case the barcode does not match an existing plate in the Software Suite,( e.g. if no
barcode has been defined in the experiment setup), you can assign the plate manually from
the list of pre-defined plates without barcodes.
Note: If the plate is expired, a warning message displays to indicate the expiration date. You
may continue with this plate on your own risk.
4. To view the details of the plate, tap Show details in the corresponding plate's pane.
5. When all plates are correctly labelled and the corresponding date is received from the
QIAcuity Software Suite, start the run.
To start the run on all plates simultaneously without making any changes, tap Run all.

To start the run of an individual plate without making any changes, tap the Run

on the plate's pane.
To edit the parameters of a plate before starting a run, follow the steps described in

section Configuring a plate and starting a run.
Note: After a plate is loaded into the instrument, the QIAcuity sends a request to the Software
Suite to lock the plate. This ensures that the plate is not modified by another user in the Software
Suite while the plate is loaded and operated by an instrument. The plate is unlocked after it is
unloaded from the instrument.
