Installing the Microplate Carrier

The removable microplate carrier has a very strong magnet permanently mounted to its
base. When the microplate carrier is removed from the instrument, keep the carrier away
from magnet-sensitive items or devices.
Before installing the microplate carrier for the first time, remove all packing materials and
adhesive tape from the microplate carrier, and make sure that the metal microplate carrier
lock has been removed from the instrument deck.
To install the microplate carrier, carefully slide the microplate carrier onto the instrument so
that the slot on the bottom of the carrier fits on the rail on the top of the instrument and the
front of the carrier is near the front of the instrument deck. The magnet below the
instrument deck holds the carrier in the home position.
