Designing a Multi-Plate Dispense

Once you have set up the hardware, you can use the MANTIS control software to either load a dispense list or design a dispense.

 

Prerequisites

 

To design a multi-plate dispense:

  1. Choose from the following options:

  1. Add a reagent to the dispense list. Define the Reagent Name and Dispense Location and click OK. If you want to add additional reagents, click Add More.

Add Reagent to Dispense List

  1. Begin designing your plate dispense with the plate designer:
  1. Click the Input button next to each reagent input. Select the Chip Type (Low Volume, High Volume, High Volume PFE, Low Volume PFE, High Volume 3PFE, Low Volume 3PFE, or High Volume Continuous Flow chip), and enter the Prime Volume (optional), Primary Wash Volume, Secondary Wash Volume (optional), Recovery Volume, and Pre-Dispense Volume. See Default Volume and Tubing Length Recommendation.

  2. Drag the reagent name from the Dispense List to either the text box next to the chip position, or the chip position on the image of the MANTIS. OR click the Assign To Input button to assign all reagents from the Dispense List at once.

Drag Reagent to the Device Control Panel

 

Assign a Dispense List of Reagents to Chip Positions

Note: If the dispense list has more reagents than the amount of the chip stations, the Assign To Input button will not work. The amount of reagents should be less or the same as the amount of the chip stations.

  1. On the Dispense Setting tab, type the amount of plates you want to dispense in the Number of Plates field.
