|
The protein source station is an area in the software where you interact with your protein source. The NT8 will automatically recognize whether you attach a High Volume or Low Volume protein tray to the NT8 protein deck station. Here you define the initial protein source volume and the protein liquid class. These settings are needed for sitting drop, hanging drop, seeding, and serial dilution experiments.

Protein Volume Setup
Important: Please make sure that you set the volume with the actual volume available in each reservoir. You must have the same volume in each reservoir across a column. The column number should match the actual column number as the protein source that has been filled with protein.
