Standard racks only. When you reach the bottom of the open slot, transfer your
hand positions so that you continue supporting the labware through the bottom
slot.

Ensure that the bottom labware in the stack rests on the rack stacker grippers.
To remove the labware from a standard or top-load rack:
1
If possible, remove the rack from the device, and place the rack on a flat, level
surface.
IMPORTANT
If you are removing labware from an installed rack, ensure that the stack is unloaded.
See
“To verify the stack is in the unloaded state:” on page 15

Carefully slide the labware in small stacks, up and out of the top of the rack.
Installing and uninstalling labware racks
Before you start
IMPORTANT
Make sure the BenchCel Microplate Handler power and compressed air are turned on
before you install or uninstall a labware rack.
When lifting the labware rack onto and off of the stacker head, use both hands to grasp
the rack securely around the four corners near the base.
WARNING
Avoid touching the interior edges of a rack when lifting the rack. The interior edges
can have sharp surfaces.
