Load Plates Using the Pedestal

BioTek provides a handy tool for
loading plates into and removing
them from a stack.
The pedestal, PN 7312083, gives you
better access to the plates when
loading the stack, helping to ensure
they sit properly and evenly.
When loading the maximum number of
n
plates supported by the stack onto the
pedestal, the top few plates may rise
above the top of the stack. They will
lower into the correct position when the
stack is lifted.
Reverse the procedure to empty a stack: Put
the full stack on top of the pedestal to give
yourself a hand-hold to lift out the plates.
Step 1:
Put the empty stack on top of the
pedestal.
