Defining a New Plate Type (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 may not be perfectly centered.
Possible sources of errors:
• Sipper splay
• Plate tolerances
• Robot alignment error
• If all holes are too close to the edge (<0.5mm) in the same
direction, adjust the X-Margin or Y-Margin values on the Add
Plate window.
8 Select the new plate name on the Setup Run Tab when starting
the run.
