Creating a Custom Device
You can program the ACDU stage to sort into any grid configuration. Create a
custom device by entering the number of rows and columns and setting the Home
and Farthest locations. BD FACSDiva software calculates the increment between
rows and columns to determine the sort locations. The Home and Farthest
locations for a 96-well plate are A1 and H12, respectively.
