Run plates with the automated barcode workflow
b. In the Properties tab, tap the Plate barcode section, enter the plate barcode by typing or
using an external USB barcode reader, then tap Enter.
If you are creating a new plate, proceed to "Create a plate file"
c. When the plate file is set up, tap Save.
2. Load the plates into the instrument in the order in which you want them to run. See "Load a plate
into the instrument"
Sensors in the plate positions recognize the order in which plates are loaded into the instrument.
In the automated barcode workflow, plates are run in the order in which they are loaded into the
instrument.
For example, if you load the first plate in position D, this plate will run before the plates in other
positions. (In the regular workflow, plates are run in sequential order: A, B, C, D.)
Note: If you want to manually link the plate files to the plates, do so before you close the
instrument drawer.
3. Close the drawer.
When you close the drawer, the instrument performs the following actions:
• Scans the plate barcode for the first plate that is loaded into the drawer.
• If it finds a plate file with a matching plate barcode, adds the plate to the Run queue.
• If it does not find a plate file with a matching plate barcode, displays a
Barcode error.

workflow)" on page
• Repeats the scan step and the add to run queue step for all installed plates.
