3.11 First Measurement with Raw Data
Example of Measurement without Injectors
Since the detector needs some time before reaching its
operating temperature, the results measured just after power on
may differ slightly from those measured after the detector has
reached its operating temperature.
Therefore, we recommend that you
• start the instrument at least half an hour before running the
first measurement
• leave the instrument turned on between individual
measurements.
❏ Open the instrument door.
❏ Turn up the frame of the microplate support tray.
❏ Place the prepared microplate on the support tray so that it
sits correctly in the fitting piece and the letters are in the back.
Well A1 should be in the upper right hand corner.
❏ Turn the frame down and push it shut until it snaps into place.
❏ Check that the microplate sits correctly.
❏ Close the instrument door and push it shut until it clicks into
place.
❏ If you have not done so yet: Load the Simplicity software (See
Section 3.7). Then the Protocol Manager appears.
