Prior to loading the plate, verify that no bubbles are present at the
bottoms of the tubes, beneath the liquid. While it is critical to remove
any bubbles from the bottom of the tubes, small bubbles near the liquid
meniscus should not affect the test results.
Important Bubbles trapped at the bottom of the tubes will interfere
with fluorescence readings, invalidating the test.
