Once ROI collection is complete, the system will initiate an Instrument Cleaning process and
end with the workflow marker at the top of the DSP Control Center at Complete
47). Each scan image will have the status Collection Complete displayed.
This Collection Complete phase is an idle software state and is a good time to Change
Reagents.
Choose the New Data Collection button to begin a new collection. You will have the opportunity
to exchange the slides and/or the collection plate. Choose the Remove Slides and Microplate
button to remove these materials from the instrument, without initiating a new run.
Removing the collection plate
Follow the prompts in the GeoMx DSP Control Center to
remove the collection plate from the instrument
Figure 48).
After the collection plate has been removed from the DSP
instrument, it should be immediately prepared for readout
by NGS (see GeoMx DSP NGS Readout User Manual
(MAN-10153)) or nCounter (see
User Manual (MAN-10089)).

adhesive foil to prevent contamination. Store plate following these guidelines:
