When you create daughter plates, you tell the NT8 to aspirate solution from a deep well block
and dispense it into a second plate, known as a daughter plate. This Quick Start guide teaches
you how to set up the hardware and the software in order to copy a plate.
If you want to copy a deep well block using a single plate, follow the instructions under Option
1.
If you want to copy a deep well block to two or three plates, follow the instructions under
Option 2.
