Plate Mapping

In this step, you define how plates are organized. Plate names can be renamed manually or via a file.

Control and Dose Layouts

From the run template, and for every plate, some information is defined:

  • The type of wells (Control, Reference, Sample), from one or more control layouts
  • Optionally, the doses for the reference wells, from one or more dose layouts

Info

For more information about control and dose layouts, see the Designer documentation on Plate Mapping.

See and Update a Single Layout

You can view the applied layout by hovering over the layout name.

If there is a change compared to the run template, you can update a control and a dose layout for a plate. For instructions, see How To: See and Update a Control and Dose Layout.

Rename Plates

In the plate mapping report, plate names are freely editable. You cannot:

  • Use special characters in plate names
  • Have duplicate plate names

From a File

To rename plates using a file, see How To: Rename Plates from a File.
