Performing pin priming
(optional)
In some cases, it may be necessary to "prime" the pins prior to dispensing. Priming the
pins wets the surface of the pins to enable better pickup of analyte solution during
dispensation. Pin priming is usually not required, but may improve spotting performance
in low relative humidity (rH) environments.
