Configuring a plate and starting a run
You can configure a plate before or after it has been loaded to the instrument.
Note: A plate can only be configured before a run starts. Changes to the configuration cannot be
made after the start of a run.
To start the configuration of a plate that has been loaded into the instrument, follow these steps:
1. On the plate's pane, tap More.
2. Tap Edit plate or Create a new plate to proceed to the plate configurator.
Note: The Edit plate button becomes available when a plate is loaded and the instrument
successfully received the data from the Software Suite. The Create a new plate button is
available when the plate's barcode is not found in the Software Suite database or when the
QIAcuity cannot connect to the Software Suite.
3. Proceed to Plate Configuration procedure.
