•
sample tracking – Sample tracking collects information about how sample plate
wells are mapped to SpectroCHIP Array pads and automatically sends the
information to a MassARRAY Transfer Server. Sample tracking requires a barcoded
microtiter plate.
•
auto tuning – Automatically adjusts dispense speed based on Target Volume
setting. Volume check MUST be enabled in order for auto tuning to work.
•
volume check – Enables the visual volume checking feature of the instrument. After
each dispense cycle, the instrument captures images of the dispensed droplets and
estimates their volumes.
See page 39 for more information on these settings.
