Note: When using barcode labels on higher plate heights (for
example, 16 mm), align the barcode label with the top of the plate to
ensure proper scanning.
F: Flange height: Dimension F specifies the height of the plate's flange in
millimeters. The Echo liquid handler supports the SBS standard short,
medium, and tall flange heights. Select the correct one from the drop
down list.
Example: For a 384PP_DMSO plate type, F is 2.41 mm.
The valid choices for F are 2.41, 6.10, or 7.62 mm.
Refer to ANSI/SBS 3-2004 for more information.
Note: The Echo liquid handler does not currently use the flange height
property, and any flange height dimension entry is ignored.
G: Well bottom width: Dimension G specifies the width of the well at its
bottom in millimeters. This is not an SBS-specified dimension. It is used for
source plates and is not necessary for destination plates.
Example: For a 384PP_DMSO plate type, G is 3.3 mm.
The valid range for G is 0.00 to 86.00 mm.
H: Well volume: Dimension H specifies the volume of the well in
microliters.
Example: For a 384PP_DMSO, 50.0 μL.
The valid range for H is greater than 0.0 μL.
Note: The Echo liquid handler does not currently use the destination
well volume property, and any well volume entry is ignored.
The OK button saves the new or edited specification. The C
abandons the data that has been entered.
SBS standards: The SBS (Society for Biomolecular Sciences) standards that
may be useful include:
 ANSI/SBS 1-2004: Microplates — Footprint Dimensions
 ANSI/SBS 2-2004: Microplates — Height Dimensions
 ANSI/SBS 3-2004: Microplates — Bottom Outside Flange Dimensions
 ANSI/SBS 4-2004: Microplates — Well Positions
(Either singularly, or as a whole)
The SBS standards can be found at: http://www.slas.org/education/
microplate.cfm. SBS is a subsection of SLAS (Society for Laboratory
Automation and Screening).
