Calibration
To enable pipette tips to aspirate and dispense accurately from the desired point within a plate, the NT8 must get precise X, Y, and Z coordinates by doing a hardware calibration. Even though the calibration is only needed during the first NT8 installation, you may want to reach out to our support for help with stage tuning if:
-
You notice inaccurate aspirate or dispense results.
-
The NT8 head is unable to smoothly pick tips from the tip caddies.
Important: Please do not attempt to calibrate your NT8 without assistance from FORMULATRIX support.

Note: The Auto Calibration tab in the Options menu is only available if you are using NT8 hardware V4 that comes with an automated calibration feature.
Auto Calibration (V4 only)
Our latest NT8 hardware version (V4) is equipped with a laser sensor installed on the NT8 head, allowing the device to perform an automated calibration. The laser sensor now does the work of finding the tuning points (X, Y, Z coordinates) and eliminates the need for using a specific calibration tip. If you are interested to know more about this feature, please contact sales@formulatrix.com.
Important: Please do not attempt to calibrate your NT8 without assistance from FORMULATRIX support.
