FAQs

How does PlateWeigh indicate automated liquid handler performance? add remove

PlateWeigh uses gravimetric analysis to determine the accuracy and precision of an automated liquid handler’s dispensing performance. 

What type of microplate may be used? add remove

PlateWeigh can accommodate virtually any ANSI/SLAS compliant microplate. 

Can PlateWeigh be used for general weighing? add remove

Of course! PlateWeigh may be used for automated weighing of anything up to 520 g. It offers accuracy to
1.0 µg. 

Are weighing results impacted by temperature? add remove

Yes. For optimal performance, labware, contents, and the highly sensitive PlateWeigh weigh cell should be the same temperature to avoid errors from air buoyancy and fluctuations resulting from convection currents across the labware’s surface. Also, avoid temperature transfer from hands to labware. 

Are automated weighing results impacted by static? add remove

Yes. If electrostatic buildup is present, the measurement may fluctuate constantly. If this occurs, use ionization to neutralize the labware surface charge before placing the labware into the PlateWeigh. 

Are automated weighing results impacted by magnetic forces? add remove

Yes. Magnetic samples may interact with the PlateWeigh weigh cell to distort measurements. To minimize this interaction, increase the distance between the labware containing magnetic material and weigh cell through use of a nonmagnetic material.
