Selecting the Installed Manifold
This option is very important to let the software know the size of the manifold that is
installed on the instrument. A procedure will not run if a different manifold is defined here
than the size defined for the procedure.
There are three manifolds available for the Mu Microplate Washer.
The standard 8-channel manifold works with 96-well plates in portrait orientation.
The optional 12-channel manifold works with 96-well plates in landscape orientation.
The optional 16-channel manifold works with 384-well plates in portrait orientation.
