2.8.6 Measure the Column (X) and Row (Y) Distance
The dimensions of the target, e.g. the exact distance between each column (X
1
-
X
2
) and the distance between each row (Y
1
-Y
2
) are essential for the proper
positioning of the needle (table) and control of the Probot Micro Fraction
Collector.
Even the smallest deviation may result in a significant offset error because it
accumulates. There are several ways to obtain the appropriate data, either you
can get this data directly from the manufacturer of the sample carriers or
measure the distances with help of the manual control options (Section 2.8.2).
