CAUTION—Positioning of Sample Racks or Well Plates without Barcode
Sample racks and well plates without a Vanquish rack type barcode may
easily be placed the wrong way around, but the Chromeleon software
cannot detect the incorrect orientation. This may result in a safety
hazard.
• Preferably, use sample racks and well plates with a Vanquish rack
type barcode, as this allows the software to check the correct
orientation. Refer to the current list of sample racks and well plates
approved by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
• When you place sample racks and well plates without such
barcodes, double-check the correct positioning as described in this
section.
The shelf is equipped with several guide rails (levels) to accommodate
the sample racks and well plates. Each level is labeled with a number.
This level number is used for defining the sample positions in the
Chromeleon software.
1. If you use sample racks, place the vials in the sample rack.
2. Place each sample rack or well plate on a free shelf level so that
position A1 is at the front right-hand corner as shown in the figure.
Figure 9: Placing the sample racks or well plates
3. Verify that well plates and sample racks are properly positioned on
the guide rails of the shelf. The edge of the sample rack or well plate
must not extend beyond the stops at the front and rear of the guide
rail.
