2-4 Operating Manual for the LS Series Scanner No. 30001798 Rev. No. 1.5
Because the LS SERIES SCANNERS are designed to interface with microplate
technology, they are very well prepared for automation using existing microplate
equipment. Four slides can be loaded in an adapter with the outer dimensions of
a microplate. The number of slides is limited only by the stacking capacity of the
external microplate device.
The LS SERIES SCANNERS come with an integrated array analysis software
package.

In order to obtain reliable results it is strongly recommended to place
reference spots onto your sample for quality control. These spots should
represent every dye of your experiment and it is recommended that they
are distributed in a non symmetric pattern across your sample. It is also
recommended to place 'blank' spots onto your arrays in order to check
for the variation of the background in your experiment.
