Head Assembly
Fluidic components in the head assembly handle all bulk reagent dispensing and sample tray reagent load-
ing. Pneumatic components provide control for the gripper, which is used to pick up and transfer capillaries.
Gripper
The gripper sits at the base of the head assembly, and is used to transfer capillaries between system trays.
The gripper picks up 12 capillaries at a time from the capillary box and moves them to and from each tray
during each cycle in a run. The gripper rotates 90 degrees to allow vertical transfer and horizontal placement
of capillaries.
