Space and table requirements
The size and weight for the instrument
portion of the QPix 400 Series are provided
below. The instrument should be accessible
on the front, sides, and back of the
instrument to allow service access to the
filters and other preventative maintenance
replacement parts.
The QPix 450 or 460 comes with its own
table, but the QPix 420 is optional. It is highly
recommended to use the Molecular Device
table designated for the QPix 420. 3rd party
tables will have to be at least as sturdy
and have the appropriate clamps in order
to prevent the instrument from excessive
shaking.
