n Note: For 16-channel syringes the µL/sec/well rate accounts for 2 tubes/well
when addressing 96-well plates and one tube/well for 384-well plates.
1536-well plate
Volume (µL) 3-3000
The 32-tube manifold flow rates do
not have minimum volumes.
The µL/sec/well for each type of
manifold, Small Bore (SB) and Large
Bore (LB), is shown:

56 125

58 150

The default rate is 3.
Low-density-plate manifolds
Like the standard manifolds described above, for these plate-type-specific
manifolds the flow rate is defined as µL/sec/well and the minimum volumes are
cumulative, i.e. any rate can be used to dispense Rate 5's minimum.
