96-well Flat Magnet PN 7103016
The magnetic force (approx. 6800 Gauss)
is distributed in a horizontal pattern,
row-wise, across the plate. Magnetic
beads are pulled to the center, across the
well in flat-bottom plates and to the
button in round-bottom plates. Increasing
the aspirate height to increase the
amount of residual in the well may
improve performance.
Aspirate Settings:
Adjust the Y Position to align the
aspirate tubes near the well walls, if
available. Increase the Aspirate Height (Z
axis), leaving more residual volume in
the wells.
384-well Flat Magnet PN 7103017
The magnetic force (approx. 4300 Gauss)
is distributed in a vertical pattern,
column-wise, across the plate.
Adjust the X Position to align the
aspirate tubes away from the center of
the well, near the well walls.
