Single Pipette
Optionally, you can use a single pipette, but pay attention to the following:
•
To increase precision and to avoid cross contamination with other
samples, always use a new tip.
•
Work in a timely manner – otherwise the samples may quickly
evaporate, leading to false results
•
Close the lid carefully and put the plate into the reader.
Note
Always start and connect instrument before applying samples onto the
plate. Work in timely manner when applying samples onto the plate to avoid
evaporation of samples! Only use NanoQuant Plate at room temperature.
Significant variations in temperature can lead to changes in the optical path
length and therefore to imprecise OD values!

NanoQuant Plate Disinfection
All parts of the NanoQuant Plate that come in contact with patient samples,
positive control samples or hazardous material must be treated as
potentially infectious areas. Spray or apply 70% ethanol, which is
commonly used for laboratory cleaning, over the whole plate. After an
exposure time of 5 minutes dry the NanoQuant Plate with a lint-free
Kimwipe.
