Bio-Rad Components for Older Model Spot Cutter - Manual (Page 35)

In depositing spots to the microtiter plate, it is important to prepare the plates with liquid in
the wells. While deposit of the gel pieces does not depend on liquid in the wells, the
reproducibility of accurate deposits is improved with this condition. The liquid can be the
solution used as the first step in the digestion process, or any other liquid used in typical lab
conditions. The stainless steel cutting tip and polypropylene microtiter plates are compatible
with a wide variety of chemicals.
