Prepare a calibration plate
Required materials to prepare calibration plates
Note:
We recommend calibrating with all Spectral Dye Calibrations Plates available for your block
configuration even if you are not using all the dyes in the plates. This is recommended for optimal
system performance.
Unless otherwise indicated, all materials are available through
. "MLS" indicates that
the material is available from
or another major laboratory supplier.
