Configure Well Plate Types

If the plate you are using is not found on the Recommended Mats and Vials you may configure a custom plate. Measure the exact dimensions of the plate as marked below and enter the values in the plate configuration table of the chromatographic data system.

Figure: Well Plate Dimensions (staggered)

**Table:** Well Plate Dimensions
Location	Description	Definition	Limits
	Rows	Number of rows on the plate	up to 16
	Columns	Number of columns on the plate	up to 24
	Volume	Volume (in µI) of a sample vessel
A	Row distance	Distance (in mm) between the center of two rows
B	Column distance	Distance (in mm) between the center of two columns
C	Plate length	X size (in mm) at the bottom of the plate	127.75+/- 0.25 mm (SBS Standard)
D	Plate width	Y size (in mm) at the bottom of the plate	85.50+/-0.25 mm (SBS Standard)
E	Plate height	Size (in mm) from the bottom to the top of the plate	up to 47 mm
F	Row offset	Distance (in mm) from the back edge (bottom) to the center of the first hole (A1)
G	Column offset	Distance (in mm) from the left edge (bottom) to the center of the first hole (A1)
H	Column shift	Offset (in mm) to Y when the rows are not straight but staggered
l	Well diameter	Diameter (in mm) of the well	at least 4 mm
J	WeIl depth	Distance (in mm) from the top of the plate to the bottom of the well	up to 45 mm

NOTE

The distances need to be measured with high precision. It is recommended to use calipers.
