Plate Types and Processing Patterns
Depending on the type of hardware installed on the instrument, e.g. manifold type,
the MultiFlo FX can process several plate types. The default parameters for wash
and dispense steps represent the optimal positioning of the hardware for the plate
type. And, the aspirate and dispense heights and horizontal positions can be
adjusted when necessary for special situations and to optimize assay performance.
