Table 2.4 Predefined Methods
Method Name Type of Dispensing
384 MTP to 384 For dispensing analyte from 384-well microtiter plates to
SpectroCHIP Array 384 SpectroCHIP Arrays.
96 MTP to 96 For dispensing analyte from 96-well microtiter plates to
SpectroCHIP Array 96 SpectroCHIP Arrays.
Note: This is the only method available for a 6-pin
instrument. This is different from a 24-pin instrument
adapted to 6-pin format, for which additional methods
are available.
96 Calibrant Used only to make calibrant SpectroCHIP Arrays for
SpectroCHIP Array optimizing purposes on the Analyzer.
384 Calibrant Used only to make calibrant SpectroCHIP Arrays for
SpectroCHIP Array optimizing purposes on the Analyzer.
*The pin array format that is required by each method. The standard format is 24-pin.
Instrument upgrade kits are available for converting a 6-pin model to a 24-pin model.
See Appendix A, page 117
NOTE NOTE
A 6-pin or 24-pin instrument can be adapted to a 1-pin format using an appropriate adapter kit. See
Appendix A, page 117 for more details on adapting the pin format. The 1-pin format is for use with
custom dispensing patterns. There are no predefined methods for 1-pin dispensing. See
3, page 63 for more details on creating custom methods.
