6.2.2
Unloading the Stack Tube
After running a stack of plates, the consumed plates will be located in the output stack tube. These plates should be unloaded and
properly disposed of prior to running additional plate stacks to prevent the possibility of overfilling the output stack tube.
CAUTION: Not removing the completed plates from the output stack may cause spills if the number of completed plates
exceeds the capacity of the output stack.

The plates should be removed manually by sliding them up and out the top of the stack tube. The last few
plates can be accessed by pushing the last plate up from the bottom of the stack tube.
6.3 Robotics Integration
All SECTOR Imagers can be integrated with a robotics system for loading and unloading plates using the Remote Instrument Mode,
which allows the instrument to be used as a component through its remote interface. A Remote Instrument Manual that provides
descriptions of the commands recognized by the MSD software is available upon request. Contact
Scientific and Technical Support
for more information on robotics integration.
