Caution:
Overfilled wells or shaking of a microplate at too
high speed can cause spilling and contamination
of the instrument. 400 µl is the maximum volume
that can be used in the Honeycomb 2
Microplates.
Note:
The bottom of the microplate must be dry prior
to placing it to the thermo cassette. If the
microplate has fluid on the bottom, dry it using a
soft lint free paper towel.
To insert the microplate, follow these steps:
1. Open the measurement chamber door of
the Bioscreen C° Pro by pressing the
symbol
on the touch screen of the
instrument.
2. Open the thermo cassette cover from the
openings on each side. Be careful not to
lift the Honeycomb plate’s ears possibly
inside:
3. Then lift and turn it gently upwards:
4. Insert the first Honeycomb 2 Microplate
to the slot in the back side of the thermo
cassette. Insert the microplate so that
well number 01 is on the right side of the
plate and the cut corner is on the left side
of the plate. It is not possible to insert the
plate the wrong way since the ears of the
plate are of different size.
5. Press the microplate downwards to insert
it properly and ensure that it’s placed
firmly and straight along the bottom of
the thermo cassette.
6. If you want to measure more than 100
samples, insert the second Honeycomb 2
microplate to the front side of the
thermo cassette:
