Record Syringe Calibration Values
If applicable, perform these steps to record calibration information and then install the
dispenser.
1.
Record the syringe calibration values that were set at BioTek:
a. On the back panel of the dispenser box, locate the two labels that show
the six target volumes (200, 80, 40, 20, 10, and 5) and the six
corresponding calibration values.
b. Record the 12 calibration values in the IQ Checklist.
Install the Dispenser
1.
Place the module to the left side or on top of the reader.
2.
On the rear panel of the reader, identify the SYRINGE 1 and SYRINGE 2 tubing
ports. Remove the nylon screws from both ports and set them aside.
3.
Open two of the plastic bag containing the injector tubes and tips. Remove the
clear plastic shrouds from the tubes. Put the other two bags in a safe place; they
are spares.
4.
Remove the two inlet tubes from their plastic canisters.
5.
Identify the two syringe valves on the dispense module. Each is labeled with a
left-pointing arrow.

Screw the fitting of one inlet tube into the right side of the Syringe 1 valve.
7.
Screw one end of one outlet tube into the left side of the Syringe 1 valve.
8.
Screw the other end of the outlet tube into the SYRINGE 1 port on the rear of
the reader.
9.
Repeat these steps to attach the inlet and outlet tubing for Syringe 2.

It is critical that the tubing is installed in the correct ports. Otherwise,
injected fluid may miss the intended well.
10.
Remove the two syringes from their protective boxes. They are identical and
interchangeable. Each syringe should already be assembled in one piece, but if
for some reason there are two separate pieces, assemble them now: Insert the
