3. If you are part of multiple teams (Enterprise Plan only), select which team to log in under (you can toggle between teams once logged in).

6. If a QR code is unavailable, tap Select Test to choose from a list of available tests. If your test is not one of the ones in the available list, then you will need to create a new protocol.
7. Select the quantity of 3-well Go-Strips to run simultaneously in your thermocycler by adjusting the + and - icons, then tap Confirm. The maximum number of Go-Strips per test run is 3.
8. Choose your run layout from the following builds:
   
   1. 1 Sample, 9 Replicates

13. Tap Confirm to proceed to Run Setup.
14. If you haven’t already, power on your thermocycler and tap Continue in the Biomeme Go app.
15. If your smartphone is not already connected to your thermocycler via Bluetooth (BLE) or serial, the app will prompt you to connect:
    1. Enable Bluetooth on your thermocycler by pressing the Bluetooth icon on the top of the thermocycler.
    2. Tap Scan in the app and wait a few seconds for your devices to be paired.
    3. Once the thermocycler is found, select it in order to connect.
       
16. You are almost ready to start your run. If you would like to, select View Load Strips Tutorial located below the Confirm button to learn more about loading your Go-Strips into your thermocycler. If not, tap Confirm to proceed.
17. Ensure your Go-Strips are loaded and the lid is closed on your thermocycler before starting your test.
