Setup/Operation
Tip Setup and Labware Setup
Proceed through the "Tip setup" and "Labware setup" screens by reviewing the information, making any desired, allowable
changes, and then touching Next. The screens indicate the labware to use and where to place it on the tray.
Tip Rack Assembly
Each tip rack consists of a tip pack and a tip reload block.
To assemble the tip rack:
1 Open the sealed blister pack.
2 Lift the tip pack out of the blister pack.
3 Set the tip pack on the tip reload block. Ensure that the tip pack is fully seated on
the tip reload block.
4 Remove the cover.
Tip Rack Placement
Tip racks can only be placed in positions with installed clips.
To install the tip rack:
1 Loosen the thumbscrew for each clip.
2 Place the tip rack on the removable tray with the beveled corner in the
back left corner.
3 Rotate each clip so that it will effectively secure the tip rack on the tray as shown
in the image below.
4 Tighten the thumbscrew for each clip.
Changing Tip Pack During the Run
If prompted during the run to refill the tip rack, use two hands and lift carefully when removing the empty tip pack from the tip
reload block. Jarring movements could cause spillage of liquids from other racks.
Tip Rack Removal
To remove the tip rack from the removable tray:
1 Loosen the thumbscrew for each clip.
2 Rotate each clip away from the tip reload block.
3 Lift the tip rack off the removable tray.
4 Remove the tip pack from the tip reload block.
