Barcodes - Labcyte Echo 525 User Manual

USER GUIDE | Echo® 525 Liquid Handler User Guide
Vacuum connector: The vacuum connector shown below connects the Echo Liquid Handler to a user supplied vacuum
l
source. If the vacuum falls below minimum recommended levels, an error message is sent to the Echo Liquid Handler and
the coupling fluid pump will shut down.
Surge tank connector: The surge tank connector shown below is used to connect to a 10 L surge tank which comes
l
standard with the Echo Liquid Handler system. One end may be removed and connected directly to the house vacuum
connector if required. When vacuum demand is at its highest, the surge tank ensures a continuous source of vacuum. It
prevents system errors resulting from low vacuum in laboratories where house vacuum barely meets the minimum vacuum
requirement or is inconsistent due to other laboratory demands.

Barcodes

The Labcyte Echo Liquid Handler optionally includes one or more barcode scanners. The location of each scanner depends on the
location of your barcode labels on the microplates.
You can only specify one location at-a-time for a plate. That is, you can specify that a barcode is on the West, South, or East side. If
the Echo has been configured for West-side reads, then both source and destination plates must have West-side barcodes. If the
Echo has been configured to East-side reads, then both source and destination plates must have East-side barcodes. If a South-
side reader is present, you can mix and match plates with South-side barcodes and either West or East side reads.
