Creating or Editing a CFX Run

In BR.io, you can create, edit, and save runs that you can then access and start from the instrument.

Important: Before creating a pending run in BR.io, you must create at least one protocol that you select as part of the setup process. For information, see Managing PCR Protocols. If you have already created the protocol you will use in your experiment, go to Selecting a Protocol.

Tip: If you choose to create a run from your connected instrument to quickly start the run, you can select a protocol from the instrument touch screen and set the Save location for the protocol to BR.io before you start the run. Any subsequent changes to the protocol from the instrument are reflected in BR.io when the run starts. You can also edit the plate layout during the run or after the run is completed. For information, refer to the CFX Opus 96, CFX Opus 384, and CFX Opus Deepwell Real-Time PCR Systems Instrument Guide (catalog no. 10000119983).

Note: You can choose to receive email notifications that alert you when a run is completed. See Receiving Email Notifications When Your Run is Completed.

For information on creating templates that you can use to set up CFX runs, see Creating and Using Run Templates.
