1. Optional. If the destination well plate has an identification code you would like to track, scan
the bar code on the well plate using a USB bar code reader attached to your computer, or
enter its identification number manually into the box on the Load Well Plate dialog box. See
Figure 4-18.
Figure 4-18 Load Well Plate dialog box. Be very careful to load the plate that is requested.

corner of the well plate on the pillars first, then snap the well plate fully into the spring clips.
○ Make sure the plate is completely level and down on the destination plate holder.
○ Ensure that the A1 well position is at the top-left corner of the destination plate holder.
