Attaching the LCP Syringe
After you have prepared the LCP sample, you can now attach the LCP syringe to the NT8 head. NT8 is equipped with a dispensing attachment that can dispense LCP drops of 50 - 100 nL. The dispenser uses an 8 mm barrel syringe. A sensor ensures the syringe is properly mounted before the NT8 begins dispensing drops. To install the LCP attachments, you'll need to locate the LCP syringe, which is included in the NT8 LCP accessory kit.
Prerequisites
- You want to perform the LCP drop dispense.
- You have prepared an LCP syringe that contains the LCP sample.
Installing the LCP Syringe
Before you perform the LCP drop dispense, you'll need to install the parts. To install the LCP syringe, take the following steps:
-
Install the LCP syringe by inserting it into the LCP holder slot.
Installing the LCP Syringe in the NT8 Head
-
Push the LCP syringe to make sure it is firmly attached to the syringe holder.
Note: You can adjust the lever speed and height to fit the LCP syringe by clicking 
on the LCP Syringe Control panel and moving the lever button on the NT8's head up and down.
-
After the plunger has been inserted, tighten the thumb screw by turning it clockwise. When you attach the syringe to the NT8 hardware, a window will appear automatically in the software. From this window you can calibrate the syringe.
Note: For complete instructions, please refer to LCP Experiments.
