Notes
9. Repeat step 8 (steps c through f) for the remaining filters.
10. After you determine the optimum concentration for each filter, determine the
optimum concentration for the custom dye:
• Compare the results from all filters.
• Select the concentration that yields the highest possible signal in all filters, but
does not saturate.
Unloading the

Creating a Custom Pure Dye Plate
1. Prepare 5 mL (7300/7500 system) or 2 mL (7500 Fast system) of the custom pure
dye at the concentration determined in step 10 on page 130.
2. Pipette 50 µL (7300/7500 system) or 20 µL (7500 Fast system) of the diluted
custom dye to all wells of an optical reaction plate.
3. Seal the wells of the reaction plate using an optical adhesive cover.
