USG-CUS-059 Rev05MassARRAY® Nanodispenser RS1000 v2.1 User Guide
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
The Nanodispenser RS1000 has several predefined method files for common types of
dispensing (see Table 3.1). You may also create custom method files (see page 63).
Table 3.1 Predefined Method Files
*The pin array format that is required by each method file. The standard format is 24-
pin. Instrument upgrade kits are available for converting a 6-pin model to a 24-pin
model.
3.2 About mapping files
A predefined method file includes a predefined plate-to-SpectroCHIP Array mapping file.
The Nanodispenser RS1000 has several predefined mapping files for common types of
dispensing runs (see Table 3.2).
A mapping file contains the following information:
•
Pin array format (24, 6, or 1-pin)
•
Microtiter plate format (384 or 96-well)
•
SpectroCHIP Array format (384 or 96)
•
Number of plates and SpectroCHIP Arrays
•
How the plate wells are mapped to SpectroCHIP Array pads (which plate well is
dispensed to each SpectroCHIP Array pad)
•
Number of pads used for autotuning

*
384 MTP to 384
SpectroCHIP Array
Method
For dispensing analyte from 384-well microtiter plates to
384 SpectroCHIP Arrays.
24
96 MTP to 96
SpectroCHIP Array
Method
For dispensing analyte from 96-well microtiter plates to 96
SpectroCHIP Arrays.
Note: This is the only method available for a 6-pin
instrument. This is different from a 24-pin instrument
adapted to 6-pin format which has additional methods.
