(K) to secure the bracket to the bottom of the microplate reader.
9. Lightly press on the interlock tabs (I) to make sure that they freely slide in and out
of the alignment slots (J).
Note:
The laser-interlock brackets are part of the hardware interlock that
prevents the laser module from turning on unless the cytometer is
installed. For the interlocks to work properly, the interlock tabs must freely
slide in and out of the alignment slots.
