Instrument Specifications
Note
Instrument specifications have been defined using Bio-Plex Pro flat
bottom microplates (Cat # 171025001), and may vary using other 96-well
plates.
The table below lists the specifications for the instrument. All specifications listed
below are based on the following instrument settings:
Dispense/Wash rate: 250 µl/s/well
Aspiration rate: 3
PARAMETERS CHARACTERISTICS

Variable
Volume of solution
dispensed 50 - 3000 µl in 50 µl increments for washing
50 - 400 µl in 50 µl increments for dispensing
Dispensing accuracy <= 2 %
Measured under following conditions:
8-way manifold, 300 µl, dispensing rate 3 (250 µl/s/well), wash buffer, Bio-
Rad 96-well flat-bottom plates (Cat. # 171025001).
Dispensing uniformity <= 4 % CV
Measured under following conditions:
8-way manifold, 300 µl, dispensing rate 3 (250 µl/s/well), wash buffer, Bio-
Rad 96-well flat bottom plates (Cat. # 171025001).
Residual volume Measured under following conditions:
<= 4 µl / well, using Bio-Plex Pro flat-bottom plates and the recommended
preloaded programs. (Optimized for high bead recovery and low assay
%CVs.)
