3. Connect the waste vessel tubing
to the aspirate manifold.
4. Lower the aspirate arm to gain
access to the dispense arm, if
necessary, i.e. move it out of the
way.
5. First, install either the Syringe
dispenser manifolds or the
spacer block on the dispense
arm:
l
orient the block so its lip
points down and abuts the
dispense manifold;
l
position the Syringe
manifold's tubing closest to
the instrument.
Typically, magnets hold them
securely.
6. With its supply tube closest to
the instrument, guide the
dispense manifold onto the
dispense arm. Its magnet will
hold it securely. Alternatively,
especially when running
magnetic bead assays, remove
the magnet and use the thumb
screws provided.
