Resuming a Run
User Guide | 35
When a sample is being read, the Start button changes to a Stop button.
Note: When you click Stop, Bio-Plex Manager MP finishes reading the current
well before it stops the run. Therefore, you may have to wait up to a minute
before Bio-Plex Manager MP responds to another command.
Resuming a Run
You can interrupt a run and make changes to your protocol, including changing the
analytes you are interested in or correcting the format of your plate. You can run the
protocol again and start where you left off or start from the beginning and read the
entire plate.
To resume a run
1. From the Create/Run Protocols view, click Start.
2. In the Run Settings dialog box, either accept the default or enter a different
name in the Result Name field.
By default, the Result Name you entered for the first run is appended with a
number surrounded by square brackets. For example, if the result name you
entered is Test, when you return to the Run Settings dialog box to run the
protocol again, the result name is Test [1]. With each subsequent run, the
number is incremented.
3. In the Well Selection diagram, specify the wells you want read.
Bio-Plex Manager MP reads only selected formatted wells. A black border
indicates the selected wells. You can:
 Read only the wells that were not read on the last run. This is the default,
as shown in the figure that follows. In this example, when the run resumes,
it will start with well A2.
 Click Select All to read all the wells.
 Click on a subset of the formatted wells to read only those wells.
Tip: Use Shift + Click to select more than one well.
