5. Batch Processing
5.1 Introduction
If the reader is connected to a Connect stacker, it is possible to perform batch
processing. The defined
i-control script will be performed on each of the available
plates in the input stack.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE MICROPLATES WITH COVERS, WHEN USING THE
CONNECT STACKER TO PERFORM BATCH PROCESSING.
Note
The defined script will be performed on each of the available plates in the
input stack. It is not possible to run the entire stack through more than
once per script.
With the Infinite M1000 instrument, the built-in stacker can be used.
Please refer to the respective Instructions for Use.
5.2 Microplate Requirements for Batch Processing
The use of plate types is limited according to the specifications of the connected
instrument; see the corresponding Instructions for Use for details.
Any common microplate ranging from 6 to 1536 well formats conforming to the
ANSI/SBS standards (ANSI/SBS 1-2004; ANSI/SBS 2-2004, ANSI/SBS 3-2004
and ANSI/SBS 4-2004) may be used with the Connect or built-in stacker for
batch processing.
Microplates with covers cannot be used with the stacker.
