About this topic
Before you begin
Bravo Platform User Guide
You should install the Nested Rack Insert if you are using nestable tip racks on the
Bravo Platform. The insert ensures the stability of a nestable tip rack during tips-on and
tips-off tasks. Up to five nestable tip racks can be stacked on a single platepad using
the Nested Rack Insert.
After you install the Nested Rack Insert, you configure the software to automatically
select the location in VWorks during tips-on and tips-off tasks.
This topic describes how to install and configure the Nested Rack Insert.
