Component Description

Each of the components that the user may interact with are described in detail in the topics below.

Door

The door is normally closed to protect the operator from moving mechanisms in the Echo Liquid Handler and from any stray light
emitted by the barcode scanner lasers. When a fluid transfer protocol is executed, the door will be opened automatically, allowing
easy human or robotic loading or unloading of microplates. For a complete picture of the door in the front panel, see the
Panel topic.

Warning: Any time the door is open, whether or not one of the microplate assemblies has been extended outside of the
Echo Liquid Handler, there is a pinch hazard. The pinch point label shown here is visible on both microplate assemblies and
reminds you to keep your hands and fingers clear of the mechanisms.
