Calibrators
Vortex the xMAP calibrator containers to ensure homogeneity. Do
not dilute xMAP calibrator reagents. Note that position of the vial
may affect drop size. Be sure to invert the vial such that it is
perpendicular to the plate surface. When calibrating the analyzer,
load a microtiter plate with at least five drops of each: CAL1 in well
A1, CAL2 in well B1 and distilled water in well E1 through H1 to
Wash a total of four times. You can use different wells as necessary.
To select different well locations in the software, select Options
from the Tools menu. In the Options window, select the Setup XY
tab, then click on the drop-down arrow next to the entry cell for the
calibrator, then click on the well location.
