Choose how many replicates there are for each sample from the scroll-down menu. The Next
group added to the plate layout will run in numerical order unless otherwise specified.
3.4.4.6 Assigning sample types to wells
• Click on a sample type icon, for instance, the UNK icon, and the icon will become
highlighted to show it is active.
• Click on or drag over the wells of the plate with the mouse and the corresponding colour and
number will appear in each well.
Information about each well will appear in the table to the right as the wells are filled.
• Repeat with the other sample types, using the Erase or Clear functions (see below) to make
amendments at any time, or press Cancel to abort the procedure and return to the
Experiment Editor.
The function buttons provide various tools that can assist in assigning the plate layout by simply
clicking on the icon with the mouse so that it becomes highlighted. Clicking again de-activates the
function.
Erase: Clears individual wells that have been assigned a sample type.
Fill by row: Allows quick-filling of the plate row by row.
Fill by column: Allows quick-filling of the plate column-by-column.
Fill plate: Quick fill the remaining wells with the highlighted sample type.
Clear plate: Clears the plate of any assigned sample types.
