Map microtiter plate
wells to SpectroCHIP
Array pads: 24-pin
example
This section provides step-by-step instructions on how to map plate wells to SpectroCHIP
Array pads using the 24-pin array as an example.
NOTE
The process for mapping using the 6-pin or 1-pin array is the same as for the 24-pin array, except
for the type of microtiter plate used and the pin array footprint. For an overview of mapping using
Map microtiter plate wells to SpectroCHIP Array pads: 6-pin example
page 82 or
Map microtiter plate wells to SpectroCHIP Array pads: 1-pin example
The 24-pin array format consists of a 6 x 4 pin configuration. Mappings between 384-well
microtiter plate wells and SpectroCHIP Array pads are defined in blocks of 24 (6 x 4 grid
"footprint")
. The pins are identified by alphanumeric coordinates.
To map plates to SpectroCHIP Arrays:
1.
Select a SpectroCHIP Array position and plate in the mapping screen
