Injection System
The tubing and injectors should be cleaned at least every three months. See Clean the
Dispense Tubes and Injectors on page 63 for instructions.
Inspect the injection system daily for leaks, preferably immediately after priming and
whenever plumbing changes have been made.
If a syringe is leaking, it may need to be replaced. See Dispense Module, Syringe
Replacement on page 71 for instructions.
Dispense Module
The dispense module sits on top of the reader and pumps fluid from the reagent bottles
to injectors located inside the instrument. Fluid is injected into one well at a time. The
injectors support plate types from 6- to 384-well plates.

1 Two 250-µL syringes draw fluid from the supply bottles.
2 Inlet tubes transport fluid from the supply bottles to the syringes. These tubes
are short pieces of opaque PTFE (Teflon) tubing connected to stainless-steel
probes on one end and threaded fittings on the other end.
3 Valves switch the syringe flow from the inlet tubes to the outlet tubes.
