The absorbent pad must be positioned with the plastic covered surface facing the holder c Position the pad and plate on the holder surface and push down firmly until the plate snaps into position 2 Reverse pipetting Introduction of bubbles to the Optimiser wells will compromise method performance by occluding the microchannel To avoid introducing bubbles always use the reverse pipetting technique when delivering materials to an Optimiser well a Beginning with the pipettor s operating button in the ready position depress the operating button to the second stop See figure in step c below b Immerse the pipet tip in the liquid to be transferred Aspirate the liquid by releasing the operating button returning it to the ready position c Dispense the liquid to the Optimiser well by depressing the operating button to the first stop Ensure that the pipet tip is touching the well surface as the liquid is dispensed Pipetting Step Ready Position 1 2 3 4 First Stop t Second Stop 3 Transferring reagents standards and samples to the Optimiser plate Due to the short incubation times it is critical that antibodies standards samples SAv HRP and substrate are transferred from their source to the Optimiser wells quickly lt 1 minute but accurately To accomplish this a First dispense the materials to a polypropylene 96 well v bottom plate b Then using a multichannel pipettor transfer the mater
