The O-rings on the pipetting nozzles in the Prep Station are present to ensure a good seal with the
pipette tips, thus ensuring accurate liquid volume control. O-rings are the small black rings found
on the lower end of the nozzle. These O-rings must be lubricated once a month to maintain a good
seal.
The Prep Station Maintenance Menu has an interface to make O-ring lubrication easier. Following
the user interface brings the pipetting head to the front of the deck for access during lubrication.
