Compound Source
This setting allows you to select a compound source plate. Compound
plates store fluids that are aspirated (withdrawn from the compound
plate) and then injected (dispensed) into the assay plate during the run.
Make sure that you select a plate type that matches the type and well
configuration of the actual compound plate you are using and the
number of wells selected in the Assay Plate Type setting.
In particular, the well bottom height is different for different types of
plates, and selecting the plate type correctly is important to prevent
jamming pipette tips into the bottom of the well. The instrument
assumes a 20 μL pipette height when aspirating from a 96-well
compound plate.

CAUTION! Selecting an incorrect compound plate type can result in
pipette tips jamming into the wells and damaging the microplate, the
tips, and the instrument.
