The Inbox contains plate files from all users (it does not contain only the plate files that you send to the
instrument).
The Inbox accepts only the following plate files:
• Plate files with unique names that do not already exist on the instrument
• Plate files with the same polymer and capillary array configuration as the instrument
Unique plate file names
A plate file can be sent to the Inbox one time only. The instrument accepts only plate files with unique
names. If you send a plate file with a name that already exists in the Inbox and in the Plate files library
on the instrument, a Failed to send status is listed for a plate file in the Plate Manager software.
If you want to change a plate file after you send it to an instrument, you can do any of the following:
• Change the plate file name in the Plate Manager software, then send again.
• Delete the plate file from the Plate files library on the instrument to remove it from the Inbox on the
instrument, then send again.
Matching configuration
The Inbox accepts only plate files that match the configuration of the instrument. For example, if
a 50-cm capillary array is installed on the instrument, the Inbox does not accept a plate file that
specifies a 36-cm capillary array. If you send a plate file with a configuration that does not match the
configuration of the instrument to which you send the plate file, the following occurs:
• A Sent status is displayed in the Recent plate files list.
• The plate file is not added to the Inbox.
• The plate file is added to the Plate files library.
