Placing a microplate on the plate stage

About this topic

This topic explains how to place a microplate on the plate stage manually.

Procedure

To place a microplate on the plate stage:

1	Orient the microplate so that the A1 well is in the far left corner, matching the A1 label on the plate stage.

2	Carefully lower the microplate onto the stage, making sure that the microplate lies flat.

 

When the microplate is on the plate stage, the sides of the microplate are referred to as north, south, east, and west as the figure shows.

Note: If you purchased a standalone Microplate Labeler and later decide to integrate the device with a BenchCel Workstation, a different type of plate stage may be required. Contact Agilent Automation Solutions Technical Support for more information.
