Here are some tips on how to apply a drop of the sample to the sensor: 

1. Stabilize your pipetting hand with a leverage (you can put  your non-pipetting hand to the instrument and use it as a leverage for the pipetting hand) 

2. Pick a pipette tip that is hydrophobic, so that the drop will not  roll-up 

3. Approach the sensor with the pipette tip and pipette the drop out  (1ul-4ul) 

4. Touch the drop to the top left gold circle on the sensor 

5. Move the tip away immediately
