2.4 Administrate the Rack List
The software comes with a preconfigured list of racks and their settings. At the Racks tab, in the
software’s Data Administration mode, you may add other racks to this list, and select the rack types
that will appear in the rack selection list when setting up a method in the Chemistry mode. It is also
possible to edit and delete user defined rack types.
NOTE
The preconfigured Biotage racks cannot be edited or deleted.
The funnel rack kit from Biotage can only be used with Isolera LS.

have six (6) rows and eight (8) columns each.

trays. Can be either two or eight, i.e. one or four racks per tray.
