For each array card, pipet 100 µL of
the appropriate calibration solution
into each of the eight reservoirs in
the array card:
a.
Place the array card on a lab bench, with the foil side down.
b.
Load 100 µL of the calibration solution into a pipee.
c.
Hold the pipee in an angled position (approximately 45 degrees) and place
the tip into the ll port. The ll port is the larger of the two holes on the left

reservoir toward the vent port.
Pipet the entire 100 µL into the ll
reservoir, but do not go past the
rst stop of pipeor plunger or
you may blow the solution out of
the port.
IMPORTANT! Do not allow the
tip to contact and possibly
damage the coated foil beneath
the ll port.

Repeat step 4 to ll the remaining array card with the appropriate calibration
reagents.
6.
Centrifuge the array card(s):
a.
Place the lled array card(s) into a centrifuge array card carrier clip and
place empty array cards in the remaining slots. Conrm that the labels on
the buckets and clips are oriented in the same direction.
