6-30 Operating Manual for the LS Series Scanner No. 30001798 Rev. No. 1.5
In the Scan Mode group box, several scan modes can be selected.
•
Single option button:
Selects the Single Scan Mode. One excitation (= laser) and one
emission (= filter) wavelength can be selected. The detection will be
performed in channel 1. This is appropriate for single label
experiments.
•
Dual Sequential option button:
Selects the Dual Sequential Scan Mode. Two excitation and emission
wavelengths can be selected. This is appropriate for dual label
experiments in single channel instruments. The second label is
measured immediately after the first and the two emissions are
detected sequentially in channel 1.
•
Dual Parallel option button:
Selects Dual Parallel Scan Mode. Two excitation and emission
wavelengths can be selected and are measured simultaneously. This
requires dual channel instruments as detection is performed in both
channels at once and scanning is done in half the time. The Dual
Parallel Scan Mode needs a Crosstalk correction (see Scan Settings
tab) and a valid set of K-factors in order to compensate for spectral
crosstalk.
For further information, refer to the chapter 6.4.6 Service Menu -
Crosstalk... description in this manual.
•
Use Stacker check box:
The Use Stacker check box will be available, if a stacker is connected
to the instrument and the instrument is turned on.
Selecting Use Stacker operates the instrument in an automatic mode.
Autosave will be enabled automatically.
For further information about Stacker and Stacker Setup refer to the
chapter 6.4.6 Service Menu -
Stacker Setup... description in this manual.
