ISP loading density

ISP loading density is the percentage of chip wells that contain an Ion Sphere™ Particle (ISP; templated and non-templated, or live and dud ISPs). This percentage value considers only the potentially addressable wells and is a result of the software well classification step.

For more information, see Well classification.

The ISP density image is a color image of the Ion Chip™ that shows the percentage of loading across the physical surface. Red indicates adequate ISP loading density, yellow indicates less-than adequate loading density, and blue indicates an absence of loaded beads.
