Use ATC plate adaptors
The plate adaptor helps to ensure that the supported consumables (full skirt and semi-skirt plates)
are ejected properly, and that the temperature is kept uniform. The Automated Thermal Cycler comes
factory configured with a full-skirted adaptor (amber color) already installed.
Note:
ATC plate adaptors are only installed/required on the 96-well block. Adaptors are not required for
the 384-well block.
