CAUTION
TECAN AUSTRIA GMBH HAS TAKEN GREAT CARE IN CREATING THE
STORED PLATE DEFINITION FILES THAT ARE RECEIVED WITH THE
INSTRUMENT SOFTWARE.
WE HAVE TAKEN EVERY PRECAUTION TO ENSURE THAT THE PLATE
HEIGHTS AND WELL DEPTHS ARE CORRECT ACCORDING TO THE DEFINED
PLATE TYPE. THIS PARAMETER IS USED TO DETERMINE THE MINIMUM
DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE PLATE AND THE CEILING OF THE
MEASUREMENT CHAMBER. ADDITIONALLY, TECAN AUSTRIA HAS ADDED A
VERY SMALL SAFETY GAP TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE OCCURRING TO THE
MEASUREMENT CHAMBER AS A RESULT OF SMALL CHANGES IN PLATE
HEIGHT. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE
INSTRUMENT.
USERS MUST ENSURE THAT THE PLATE DEFINITION FILE SELECTED
CORRESPONDS TO THE ACTUAL PLATE BEING USED.
USERS SHOULD ALSO TAKE CARE THAT NO POTENTIAL FLUORESCENT
OR LUMINESCENT CONTAMINATION LIES ON TOP OF THE PLATE. BE
AWARE THAT SOME PLATE SEALERS LEAVE BEHIND A STICKY RESIDUE
THAT MUST BE COMPLETELY REMOVED BEFORE STARTING
MEASUREMENTS.
CAUTION
BEFORE STARTING MEASUREMENTS, MAKE SURE THAT THE MICROPLATE
POSITION A1 IS INSERTED CORRECTLY. THE POSITION OF WELL A1 HAS
TO BE ON THE UPPER LEFT SIDE.
CAUTION
TO INSURE THE OPTIMAL WORKING OF TECAN INSTRUMENTS
WE RECOMMEND A SERVICE INTERVAL OF 6 MONTHS.
