>OK, Get a microplate with 384 wells (== test tubes).

Why 384? You could get any amount you want, you'd just have to modify the coefficients for row and column accordingly (linear increase with decrease of number per axis).

Imagine if you'd skip every other row and column, the image would still be the same, just lower resolution.

> According to what table? There is no "table below".

CTRL-F environment variables. Click on that.

>A pipette is used to dispense fluid. How does a pipette "encode position"?? Start what computation?

???

The concentrations are determined by row and column, thus encode position.

384 well plates (16x24) are one of the “standard” sizes and the densest that a typical lab is likely to have on-hand. The next size up/down (fewer, bigger wells) is probably 96 wells in an 8x12 grid.
