2.6 Microtiter plate checks

Checking the resin and
liquid levels

A layer of Clean Resin (yellow or brownish-yellow color) underlies a liquid analyte layer in
a microtiter plate well. The levels of the resin and liquid must be checked to ensure they
are adequate for nanodispensing. This section uses a 384-well plate as an example, but
the process is the same for a 96-well plate. (See

for a 96-well example.)

In a 384-well microtiter plate, the resin level should come up no higher than 4.5-5.0 mm
from the bottom of the wells

. In each well, the liquid (analyte) above the

resin should be at least 2.5 mm higher than the top of the resin layer.

To adjust the resin or analyte level:

CAUTION

!

Use a new pipette tip for each well to avoid cross-contamination of samples.

1.

If a well has too much resin:

a. Pipette some out until the distance to the top of the resin layer (from the bottom

of the well) is no higher than the maximum value (see

. Pipette

carefully, removing only what is necessary.

b. Centrifuge the microtiter plate for 3 minutes at 1600 x g.

2.

If the liquid level (analyte) in the wells is less than 2.5 mm above the resin

:

a. Bring up the liquid level by adding HPLC-grade water with a pipette.

b. Check to make sure that the liquid level is uniform across all wells.

NOTE

NOTE

There is a maximum allowable level of resin in the wells, but there is no minimum. If a well has a

lower resin than others, the liquid level above the resin may come up to a lower point. (See the

following example.)
