Cables
Molecular Devices recommends that you use high-quality, double-
shielded cables to connect the instrument to the computer. Choose
cables that meet the following requirements:
Serial Interface Cable: The serial interface cable used to connect the
instrument to the computer is a custom cable designed and built by
Molecular Devices. Use the cable supplied by Molecular Devices, or
contact Molecular Devices for specific pin-out requirements: Male DB8
to Female DB9 (custom cable made by Molecular Devices,
P/N 9000-0149).
USB Adapter Cable: Many newer computers do not have a serial port.
You can connect a serial cable between these computers and the
instrument using a USB-to-serial adapter. Molecular Devices has tested
many third-party USB-to-serial adapter cables and has found Keyspan
USA-19HS (Molecular Devices, P/N 9000-0938) to be the most reliable. It
is the only one we recommend.
Microplate Adapters
The black microplate adapter fits in the assay plate carriage, in the
reading chamber drawer, to elevate standard microplates for both top
reads and bottom reads. Remove the adapter when using high-profile,
6-well, 12-well, 24-well, or 48-well microplates.
Compound Baseplate
Molecular Devices provides a metal baseplate that must be placed in the
compound plate drawer under the compounds plate to reduce stray
light.
