  • Method
    Choose the method you want to use for this run—your blueprint for the process ahead.

  • Stream
    Need stream-specific settings? This option applies any custom stream configurations defined in your method for the selected stream.

  • Sample Name
    Every run needs an identity! This is where you name your sample and the corresponding result set.

  • Use Default Naming
    Want to automate the naming? Check this box to use the name defined in the method settings. Uncheck it if you prefer to customize the name manually.

  • Notes
    Have any important notes or details specific to this run? Capture them here, and they’ll be saved along with the dataset for future reference.

  • Cancel
    Not ready to commit? Hit cancel to back out of the start new run screen without starting anything.

  • Start Run
    Ready, set, go! This button sends your method to the instrument and kicks off the run.
