MANTIS can be integrated with ROCK MAKER to dispense a plate design you've created in
ROCK MAKER.
Prerequisites
● You have configured MANTIS-ROCK MAKER integration. For more information,
please see Configuring MANTIS-ROCK MAKER Integration on page 101.
● You have used ROCK MAKER to create an experiment (if you haven't and you
need help, please see the ROCK MAKER help files for assistance).
To run ROCK MAKER experiments with MANTIS:
1. Place the MANTIS chips into the chip pallets, and attach the chip pallet to a chip
changer station.
2. Attach the reagent tubes or pipette tips to the ingredient inputs at each chip.
3. Place the microplate on the plate holder. The microplate you use should be the
same one you selected in ROCK MAKER.
4. Go to the Tools menu and select Hand Scan.
5. Type your experiment barcode number next to Data to scan (you only need to
type the last four digits). If MANTIS successfully reads and validates the barcode,
your dispense list, design and settings will display.
6. Drag the reagents from the Dispense List Designer panel to the corresponding
inputs.
7. Click to start the dispense or click to run dispense with protocol. The
MANTIS will complete your plate dispense design.
8. OPTIONAL: If you want to conserve reagent volume, run Reagent Recovery.
9. When you're finished dispensing, clean the chips. For more information, please
see Cleaning the Chips page 73.
