Loading and unloading labware
About this topic
This topic explains how to load labware into and unload labware from
the BenchCel Workstation stacker racks.
Loading microplates
into a stacker rack
To load microplates into a stacker rack:
While standing at the front of the stacker rack, place microplates in the
stacker rack so that the A1 well is in the upper left corner. The following
diagram shows the top view of the stacker rack that has a microplate
loaded.
Note: For compatibility with other devices, you can load the microplates
such that the A1 well is in the lower right corner. For example, if the
VPrep Pipettor is installed to the left of the BenchCel Workstation, the A1
well should be in the lower right corner.
The first or bottom-most microplate in the stack will be process first. The
last or top-most microplate in the stack will be processed last.
