Adding a New Plate (Continued)
• The instrument will move to the specified number of wells in
each corner of the plate, punching holes in the tape.
• The Punch test is acceptable if the punched hole is >0.5mm
from the edge of the well.
• Holes will never be perfectly centered.
Possible sources of errors:
• Sipper splay
• Plate tolerances
• Robot alignment error
• If the holes are too close to the edge (<0.5mm), adjust the X-
Margin or Y-Margin values in the Add Plate window.
7 Select the new plate name in the Start Run Window when
