Map microtiter plate
wells to SpectroCHIP
Array pads: 24-pin
example
This section provides step-by-step instructions on how to map plate wells to SpectroCHIP
Array pads using the 24-pin array as an example.
NOTE
The process for mapping using the 6-pin or 1-pin array is the same as for the 24-pin array, except
for the type of microtiter plate used and the pin array footprint. For an overview of mapping using
these pin arrays, please see Map microtiter plate wells to SpectroCHIP Array pads: 6-pin example,
page 82 or Map microtiter plate wells to SpectroCHIP Array pads: 1-pin example, page 84.
The 24-pin array format consists of a 6 x 4 pin configuration. Mappings between 384-well
microtiter plate wells and SpectroCHIP Array pads are defined in blocks of 24 (6 x 4 grid
"footprint") (Figure 3.25). The pins are identified by alphanumeric coordinates.
To map plates to SpectroCHIP Arrays:
1. Select a SpectroCHIP Array position and plate in the mapping screen (Figure 3.26).
