4. Click the Labware tab. In the Sensors area, reduce the Intensity so
that the highest Plate present reading (Jog/Teach tab) is less than or
equal to 175.
If the Plate present reading is very low, increase the Intensity to
100%. If the Plate present reading is greater than 175, decrease the
Intensity slightly so that the reading is reduced to 175.
For example, a dark-colored microplate has a Plate present reading
of 10. Increasing the Intensity to 100% increases the reading to 51
(shown in the example below). A light-colored microplate has a
Plate present reading of 200. Decreasing the Intensity to 20 reduces
the reading to 175.
5. In the Jog/Teach tab, find the highest plate present reading
(P
unloaded
) among all the stacks. To do this:
a. Select the first stack.
b. Record the Plate present reading.
c. Repeat steps a and b for each of the remaining BenchCel
Workstation stacks.
d. Assign the highest Plate present reading to P
unloaded
, the highest
Plate presence threshold when no microplate is loaded. The
value will be used to calculate the Plate presence threshold.
In the following example, the highest reading is 51 (stack 2).
Stack 1 Stack 2 Stack 3 Stack 4
