Wash Head
‹
The wash head contains 96 paired probes: the longer probes are used
when aspirating and the shorter probes are used when dispensing.The
wash head is a combined manifold and wash head, equipped with 3
valves, electronic sensors, and a level to assist in leveling the wash
head.
‹
The wash head is removable, using the two adjustment knobs, to
allow access to its internal channels for cleaning and maintenance.
Microplate Lift
‹
The microplate lift ensures that the microplate is positioned
accurately during each stage of the wash program. The function of the
lift is to minimize contamination of the wash probes (probes are not
submerged into the liquid in the wells).
‹
The vertical velocity of the lift is fixed except during the aspirate
function: the longer the aspirate time, the slower the lift moves
