Luminex xPONENT 4.2 for FLEXMAP 3D - Manual (Page 18)

Create a Batch
There are three batch creation options:
• Create a New Batch from an Existing Protocol (uses a protocol; described in this
section).
• Create a New Batch from a New Protocol
• Create a New Multi-batch (runs multiple batches at one time).
To create a new batch from an existing protocol:
1. Open the Batches page.
2. Click Create a New Batch from an Existing Protocol.
3. Type the batch name in the Batch Name box.
4. Type a description of the batch in the Enter Optional Description box.
5. Click the protocol you want to use in the Select a Protocol list. If the protocol you select
uses standards and/or controls, the active reagents are shown on the bottom of the
screen. Verify that these are the correct standards and controls.
6. Click Next.
• If the protocol you selected uses standards and controls, the Stds & Ctrls tab opens.
View the details of the active reagents and verify that they are correct; apply different
assay standards and controls, or manually enter new information. Click Next. The
Plate Layout tab opens. Confirm that the plate layout conforms to your specific assay
instructions.
• If the protocol you selected does not use standards and/or controls, the Plate Layout
tab opens. Confirm that the plate layout conforms to your specific assay instructions.
Continue with step 6.
7. On the Plate Layout tab, add samples to the plate layout if needed.
8. Click Run Batch to begin batch acquisition, or click Save to save the batch information to
the Pending Batch list, to be run at a later time.
NOTE: If the batch spans more than one plate, the tray ejects automatically
when all defined wells have been acquired. A dialog box prompts
you to insert the next plate.
