NOTE
If you remove a mapping in which a group of plate wells is mapped to only one group of
SpectroCHIP Array pads, the plate wells retain their color even though they are not mapped to any
pads. If you save a mapping file with colored, but unmapped plate wells, the wells will appear blank
the next time the mapping file is opened.

). When remapping wells, the color of
the wells will change because tapping a previously colored well cycles the color. This
is only a cosmetic effect and does not affect well-to-SpectroCHIP Array mapping.

wells to SpectroCHIP
Array pads: 6-pin
example
The 6-pin array format consists of a 3 x 2 pin configuration. Mappings between 96-well
microtiter plate wells and SpectroCHIP Array pads are defined in blocks of six—a 3 x 2
grid that uses only pins A1, A3, A5, C1, C3, and C5
. The pins are identified by
alphanumeric coordinates.
The figures in this section illustrate the mapping operations. For detailed instructions,
please see
. The process of mapping plate wells to SpectroCHIP Array pads is
the same as for the 24-pin format, except mapping with a 6-pin array uses a 96-well
microtiter plate and the pin array footprint is a 3 x 2 grid.
