Operation 32Adding a New PlateWhen using a plate other than the plates specified in the Start RunWindow, you must create a new plate in the Plate InformationWindow. Use caution adding new plates. Entering wrong values inthe Add Plate Window can result in damaged chips and brokensippers.It is best to use the plate specifications provided by the platemanufacturer. If the specifications are not available, measure theplate with a caliper. Many plates have a large variation in the Z-axislocation of the well bottom.Make sure the Sip Height has enough margin to accommodate thisvariation:• Minimum Sip Height is 2.5mm.• Maximum Sip Height depends on the sample volume.• Sip Height of 4mm is probably safe.To add a new plate:1 Select Tools Plate Editor to open the Plate InformationWindow.2 Click the Custom Plates tab.3 Click the Add Plate button. The Add Plate Window opens.4 Type the settings for the new plate. The diagram on the AddPlate window shows the location for each measurement.Acceptable plate parameters are:• PlateHeight: 0 to 16mm• WellDepth: 0 to 36mm• SipHeight >= 2mm• (WellDepth – SipHeight)
Operation 33Adding a New Plate (Continued)• The instrument will move to five wells in each corner of theplate, punching holes in the ParaFilm.• The Punch test is acceptable if the punched hole is >0.5mmfrom the edge of the well.• Holes will never be perfectly centered.Possible sources of errors:• Sipper splay• Plate tolerances• Robot alignment error• If the holes are too close to the edge (
