Tetra System accepts 96-, 384- and 1536-well plates that
conform to the proposed ANSI standards submitted by the Society for
Biomolecular Sciences. A sample of suitable source and read plates is
provided in Appendix C: Consumables and Accessories on page 283.
Black walled, clear-bottomed read plates provide an optimal imaging
environment for fluorescence assays. These plates prevent signal
diffraction while allowing excitation and signal access. Black walled,
clear-bottomed plates or white walled plates can be used for
luminescence assays.
For 96-well read plates, an optional slit-shaped mask can be used to
minimize saturation and edge effects associated with these plates.
Simply place the mask over the read position. See Appendix C for types
of masks available.
No mask is required for 1536- and 384-well plates.
Instrument Status Panel
The Instrument Status panel, located next to the upper door handle,
indicates whether or not the instrument is running and safe to open. It
includes an emergency Interrupt button to stop any processes.
