You can create experiments in Rock Maker, and then dispense them with the NT8 using Rock
Maker Integration feature.
Prerequisites
● You have created an experiment in Rock Maker. If you don't know how, please refer to
the "Experiment Design" section of the Rock Maker help file.
● Rock Maker version 3.0.2.8 or newer.
Dispensing Rock Maker Experiments with the NT8
1. Click the Rock Maker Integration tab . The editor screen displays (shown in step
2).
2. Type your experiment barcode number in the Experiment Barcode field at the
upper-left corner of your screen or scan the barcode with a barcode
scanner (if it is available). When the barcode is validated, the Rock Maker experiment
information populates.
3. Next, follow the on-screen instructions presented in the Instruction tab. The on-screen
instructions tell you to do some hardware preparations. For example, you may be told
to place the 96 1 Hampton LCP Sandwich on Microplate Station 1, attach the LCP
syringe to the LCP head, install microplates on the microplate stations, etc. See Rock
Maker Integration Tab.
Note: The experiment details can only be changed or edited from the Rock Maker software.
