Load Plates into Input Stack | 45
Supported Microplate Types and Dimensions
See also Specifications on page 9.
Microplates must be stackable and of single-piece construction. Do not use
removable-strip-type plates.
A: Length: 127.76 mm ± 0.25 mm
B: Width: 85.48 mm ± 0.25 mm
F: Plate Height: ~10.16 mm to 14.60 mm (exception for stay-on lide mode)
Nesting: The microplates must nest with
each other. Plates with ribs or other
small, sharp edges on their base may not
stack well and may “catch” when moving
down the stack. Plastic burrs (extra
plastic) on the edges of plates may also
cause problems.
Stacked height is the plate height minus the base recess. Most plates have a base recess of
1.0 mm and a skirt height of 2.4 mm, 6.1 mm, or 7.6 mm.
See Plate Stacked Height on page 88.
