PROTOCOLS
Protocol Set-up Manually program the parameters that will be delivered
to the plate.
Gradient Protocol Specify initial values that will be used to automatically
generate a gradient of settings across all the wells on
the plate.
User Protocols Access all protocols within the directory of each
system user and create new user directories.
Pre-Set Protocols Open one of eighteen pre-set protocols designed for
easy optimization of parameters to deliver to the plate
during a pulse. These protocols can be modified and
saved with a different name.
SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Last Pulse Recall the electroporation parameters for the last pulse
and to deliver a pulse using the same conditions.
Data Management View pulse parameters and results for the last 100
pulses logged by date and time.
Screen Intensity Adjust the contrast intensity of the LCD display.
Measurements Measure the resistance or capacitance of any well on
this device.
