Improving Drop Location

Although our technicians tune your plate type definitions during installation, if you add new plates types or find that drop images are consistently off-centered, you may want to improve the drop location.

Prerequisites

• You're comfortable with the Plate Type Editor.
• You know the plate type name you want to tune the drop location on.

To improve drop location for a plate:

1. Go to the File menu and select Plate Type Editor to open the Plate Type Editor.
2. Select your plate type from the plate type list.
3. If your plate has more than one drop location per well, select the number of the drop position from the Drop list.
4. Use the manual imaging controls to move the imager to the A1 drop location.
5. Click the button (outlined in green in the image below) to save the new drop position.

Drop Positions

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the A12, H12, and H1 drop positions.
7. Click OK to save your changes and close the Plate Type Editor.
