Configuring sample plates
After the probe is aligned, the sample plates can be mounted and configured in the software. The
software allows loading different well plate formats (for more information see Section 4.1). With the
delivery of the system, an empty “costar 24 well plate” is provided which dimensions are already
calibrated. Please use it until you get more familiar with the system. Other calibrated well plates are:
-
96 and 24 microplates from Greiner (
).
-
96 and 6 Softwell plates from Matrigen (
Follow these steps:
1.
First, mount the microplate by pushing it down until all sides touch the bottom of the plate holder
and the plate feels firm in the X direction (there are springs on the right side that keep the plate
firm). If the microplate can move in the Y direction, push it to the top. Choose the well that will
act as the calibration well, it should be loaded without any sample, only filled with the same liquid
as used for the samples such as phosphate-buffer saline (PBS)
, water
, culture medium, or just air,
and has a clean and hard surface at the bottom, without any coating which would make it sticky.
