The two plate positions and the A1 positions of the two plate positions
are clearly marked on the turntable. When the instrument is in its basic
position, plate position 1 is under the KingFisher Duo head. Note that
at the end of a protocol run, the turntable may stop in a different
position than the starting position. Loading the plate and elution strip
is shown below (Figure 4–30 and Figure 4–31). Make sure that the
elution strip is placed in the correct direction into the elution block.
Ensure that the perforated end is facing towards the user.
