Figure 1. Workflow of Microplate Manager
Microplate Manager can perform three general types of microplate readings. These
are called “protocols.”
•
Endpoint protocols are used to acquire a single absorbance reading from each
well.
•
Kinetic protocols are used to acquire a series of absorbance readings from each
well over a user-defined interval. These protocols are used to calculate reaction
velocities.
•
Multiple plate protocols are used with a stack loader to collect endpoint data
from a series of plates. Multiple plate protocols save each endpoint data set in a
separate file.
First you select the type of protocol you want to create. Then you specify the settings
for your particular protocol and define or select a template for your microplate.
