1 0:00:00,00 --> 0:00:03,07 2 0:00:03,07 --> 0:00:12,29 In this tutorial, I will explain how to configure a magnetic plate on a Bravo Platform and add the appropriate task in a protocol to use the magnetic plate. 3 0:00:12,29 --> 0:00:20,20 This video assumes that you already know how to create a device file in the VWorks software and have basic protocol-writing skills. 4 0:00:20,20 --> 0:00:25,29 If you do not have this background, please view the Device File video first before continuing. 5 0:00:25,29 --> 0:00:33,10 You can also learn about device files and writing basic protocols in the VWorks Automation Control User Guide. 6 0:00:33,10 --> 0:00:37,27 The magnetic plate is an accessory that can be used on the Bravo Platform. 7 0:00:37,27 --> 0:00:47,26 To use it in my protocols, I must first physically place it at an available Bravo deck location, reteach that location, and then configure it in Bravo Diagnostics. 8 0:00:47,26 --> 0:00:55,15 In this video, let’s assume that I have already placed the magnetic plate at deck location 7 and retaught that location. 9 0:00:55,15 --> 0:00:58,29 Now I’m ready to configure it in Bravo Diagnostics. 10 0:00:58,29 --> 0:01:07,27 So, I'll open my device file, … 11 0:01:07,27 --> 0:01:15,22 select the profile I want to change, … 12 0:01:15,22 --> 0:01:22,09 and open Bravo Diagnostics. 13 0:01:22,09 --> 0:01:24,26 I'll go to the Configuration tab, … 14 0:01:24,26 --> 0:01:28,12 select the deck location that will host the magnetic plate, … 15 0:01:28,12 --> 0:01:31,02 select Configuration, and click Accessory. 16 0:01:31,02 --> 0:01:37,19 In the Accessories Wizard, I see that the deck location is 7, which is correct. 17 0:01:37,19 --> 0:01:47,20 And on the next page, I will select the accessory called Magnetic bead. 18 0:01:47,20 --> 0:01:49,21 I'll finish the wizard. 19 0:01:49,21 --> 0:01:59,12 Here, the software is letting me know that location 7 has been changed. If I haven’t yet retaught the location, I would click Yes, and then reteach location 7. 20 0:01:59,12 --> 0:02:06,16 But remember that I have already retaught that location before configuring it here, so I will click No. 21 0:02:06,16 --> 0:02:17,14 Back in the Profiles tab, I will update this profile to save the changes, … 22 0:02:17,14 --> 0:02:20,03 and then initialize the profile. 23 0:02:20,03 --> 0:02:23,28 Now I’m ready to use the magnetic plate in my protocol. 24 0:02:23,28 --> 0:02:36,09 Let’s say I created the protocol. I’ll open it right now and show you the tasks that use the magnetic plate. 25 0:02:36,09 --> 0:02:44,02 My protocol contains three Bravo subprocesses. Let me expand the protocol area so that I can see the subprocesses. 26 0:02:44,02 --> 0:02:54,07 Let me also expand the subprocesses so that I can see the tasks. 27 0:02:54,07 --> 0:03:04,08 At the end of my first subprocess… Let’s scroll to the end here… 28 0:03:04,08 --> 0:03:06,16 I have a Reserve Location task. 29 0:03:06,16 --> 0:03:15,23 The Reserve Location task allows me to incubate a labware at the specified location for a specified period of time on the Bravo Platform. 30 0:03:15,23 --> 0:03:21,21 In the Task Parameters area, I selected the labware that will sit on the magnetic plate. 31 0:03:21,21 --> 0:03:25,19 I selected the location of the magnetic plate, which is at 7. 32 0:03:25,19 --> 0:03:33,22 And I specified the amount of time I want the plate to incubate. In this case, it’s 30 seconds. 33 0:03:33,22 --> 0:03:38,05 I also added a Reserve Location task in the second subprocess. 34 0:03:38,05 --> 0:03:43,23 Just as before, I selected the labware and location, and specified the time. 35 0:03:43,23 --> 0:03:48,17 And that’s how you configure and use the magnetic plate on the Bravo Platform. 36 0:03:48,17 --> 0:03:55,29 For more information about the Reserve Location task, see the VWorks Automation Control User Guide. 37 0:03:55,29 --> 0:03:59,07
