•
Mechanism for removing mounted cartridges and pipette tips. The head has a
stripper plate, which is a spring-loaded mechanism that is actuated by the Bravo
gripper assembly. The stripper plate enables the Bravo 96AM Head to remove the
cartridges while still holding liquid in the syringes.
Note: The w-axis is the motion of the displacement of the pipettor inside the
head. The w-axis is not engaged during cartridge mounting or removal from the
head so that fluid can be held in the syringes and probes. For the Tips On and
Tips Off tasks, the Bravo w-axis goes to the zero position to empty any fluid
contained in the syringes.
