Pump Module User Guide
Item
Description
1
Inlet ports. Fills the wash station. Liquid flows up through the
chimneys.
2
Outlet ports. Empties the wash station. The overflow of the chimneys
flows out through the two upper output ports.
You can use the 96- and 384- chimney Tip Wash Stations with any of the
Agilent 96- channel pipette heads. However, the 384- channel pipette head is
limited to the 384- chimney Tip Wash Station.
Note: The AssayMAP Bravo Platform uses a 96- chimney Tip Wash Station that
is scaled for the 96AM head as part of the AssayMAP Bravo Platform.
Note: For single- channel pipettors, you use the 8- Channel Wash Station.
CAUTION
Attempting to use the 384-channel pipette head with a Tip Wash Station other
than the 384-chimney format can cause equipment damage.
Make sure the pipette tips do not touch the bottom of the Tip Wash Station.
To adjust the distance from the bottom, you can set parameters in the
automation software. For instructions, see the user documentation for the
device automation software.
CAUTION
To prevent potential damage to the tips, ensure that the pipette tips do not
touch the bottom of a reservoir.
The chimneys in the wash station prevent carryover and reduce contamination.
The Pump Module pumps wash liquid into the Tip Wash Station through two
inlet ports. The wash liquid flows up through the chimneys in the Tip Wash
Station to wash the tips. The waste overflows from the chimneys and is
removed through two outlet ports.
The Tip Wash Station can be installed on a platepad or on a Vertical Pipetting
Station shelf. Optionally, the Tip Wash Station can be used on a Weigh Station
or Weigh Shelf for precision liquid- level control.
The 8- Channel Wash Station is an auto filling wash station available for use on
the Encore Multispan Liquid Handling System and is capable of washing all
Agilent tip types used by the system.
