The 2200 TapeStation lid must be closed each time the instrument
controller software is initialized, and whilst the instrument is in operation.
The LED will illuminate once the instrument is on. When the LED is
flashing slowly, the instrument is in use and the lid should not be opened,
rapid flashing indicates that the TapeStation requires some attention.
There are 2 sample blocks provided that can either hold 0.2 mL sample
tube strips or a 96 well plate.
The tip holder can accommodate up to 16 TapeStation loading tips at any
one time.
The tape must be placed into the holder with the barcode towards the
front of the instrument, facing towards the right.
The USB connector is inserted into the USB socket to link the laptop to the
2200 TapeStation.
The power cable must be connected to the 2200 TapeStation and the
relevant mains electricity outlet.
