Types of sample
plates
Three types of 100-position reusable sample plates are
available:
• Polished blank sample plates (with or without sample
numbers)—Liquid is held in place by surface tension of
sample/matrix mixture. Advantage of this type of plate is
that you can observe crystallization pattern, and the
actual sample spot is visible.
• Laser-etched sample plates—Liquid is held in place by
laser-etched indentation in plate. Advantage of this type
of plate is that the sample position on the plate is
well-defined. Use laser-etched sample plates when
running in Automatic Control mode.
• Welled sample plates—Liquid is held in place by
indentation in plate. Advantage of this type of plate is that
the sample position on the plate is well-defined. Use
welled sample plates:
• When running in Automatic Control mode
• To contain larger sample/matrix volumes that will
spread beyond the sample position boundaries,
due to volatile solvent content
In addition to 100-position reusable sample plates, the
Voyager software supports other reusable and disposable
plates. For more information, see:
