blue. Parts of the device are moving.
TIP If you install sample racks or well plates without Vanquish rack type
barcodes to the carousel, the rack type and rack orientation will not be
identified automatically. It may be helpful to write down the rack types
that are installed in the carousel to enter them manually in Chromeleon.

1. Rotate the desired segment of the carousel to the front. You can
rotate the carousel in the following ways:

Select the Rotate button on the keypad. Pressing the button
rotates the carousel counterclockwise to the next loading
position.

Use Chromeleon to move the required segment to the front.

A1 being in the top left sample position. The sample rack or well
plate must sit in the alignment frame and rest on the alignment
points of the segment.
