If the labware you want to use is not immediately available when designing firefly protocols, check for it in ‘Community’, ‘Labware’. It includes a search facility to e.g. define plate properties.
When you have found labware you want, click the blue arrow to download it. The download arrow will be replaced by the word ‘Installed’. It will then be available to use in protocols.
You will also need to download definitions for any stacks which you wish to use in your protocols.
You will not be able to run a protocol unless you have downloaded definitions for the stacks used.
If you cannot find what you need, contact reliance.
If you had previously installed labware and the definition has since been updated e.g. to take
account of manufacturer's changes, you will see 'Update' instead of 'Installed'. If you are using existing labware supplies, you may prefer not to update definitions. If you have new labware, using the new definitions will be more accurate. You can check the Last Modified date to see what would be more appropriate.
Do not attempt to use any labware which does not appear in 'Labware'.
If you open a protocol which uses labware which is not installed on your system, it will be
downloaded automatically
