Prepare the plate
IMPORTANT! Before performing a dy
e calibration, you must perform an ROI
calibration, a background calibration, and a uniformity calibration.
IMPORTANT! W
ear powder-free gloves and safety glasses when you prepare the
plate.
1.
Remov
e the dye calibration plate from the freezer, then thaw it at room
temperature for approximately 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT! Use the calibration plates within 2 hours of defrosting them. Until
you are ready to run the plates, store them in the dark and at ambient
temperature (15–30℃). Do not remove the plates from their packaging until you
are ready to run them.
2.
Before using each dy
e plate, vortex the plate for 5 seconds, centrifuge it for
2 minutes at < 1500 rpm, then conrm that the liquid in each dye plate is at the
boom of the wells. If not, centrifuge the plate again at a higher rpm and for a
longer period of time.
