About the application
The DynaCellect Protocol Builder application is used to create and edit protocol files for the Gibco CTS DynaCellect Magnetic
Separation System. Each protocol is built up of one or several user-defined steps, consisting of instructions that the instrument uses to
perform a run. The application does not interact directly with the instrument and can therefore be used even when the instrument is not
available. The DynaCellect Protocol Builder is available both as a desktop application for Windows and macOS, and cloud application.
Protocol creation
The application can be used to create a new protocol or to start from an existing protocol. When opening an existing protocol from the
cloud application, the file must be in DataConnect.
Create New Protocol: User can create/design new protocol from scratch.
Open Existing Protocol: User can modify/edit the already saved protocol. While user selects Open Existing Protocol option, it will show
list of saved Protocols name along with last modified date (cloud application), for desktop applications it will open the folder list of saved
Protocols.

5. Enter the run volumes, in milliliters, for the desired sites.
Note: Entering run volumes is optional.
4DynaCellect Protocol Builder User Guide
Bead Calculator
The bead calculator can be used to calculate bead volume by providing the following inputs:
Target Cells: (enter target cells) × 108
Bead: Cell Ratio (Insert number of beads) Beads per (Insert number of cells) Cells
Bead Stock Concentration (insert value)×108beads/mL
Once bead volume is calculated in milliliters, it can be applied to selected bead location(s).
Note: The bead volume value will replace existing run volumes of the selected locations.

Prompt
A prompt can be added to display a message after a given step. When confirming the prompt, the user will be given the option to either
repeat the step or to continue to the next step.
Enable Add Prompt and message in text box (optional).
Finalize steps
When a step is finished, click on Save to save the step. The button will only be available if all the mandatory information is set. Click on
Add Step or Duplicate under Actions to create more steps.
When the protocol is finished, click on Review protocol to proceed.
Note: It is recommend to save the protocol often.

Step creation
Each protocol consists of one or more steps that are performed sequentially. Each step can consist of all dierent actions, e.g. a step can
be contentious rocking or moving the rocker and waiting, engaging pump, engaging or disengaging the magnet, and displaying a prompt
at the end of the step, although it can often be more practical to divide these into more steps.
Common for all steps is that they must have a name, a rocker setting, and a duration. If the pump is not active, then the duration will start
counting after all other actions are performed. E.g. if the rocker is set to move to 0° and duration to 00:01:00, then the rocker will first
move to 0° and then wait for one minute before the next step is triggered.
If the flow path is selected, then the pump parameters must be set.
