Laboratory table or bench requirements
Make sure the table for the BenchCel Microplate Handler has the following:
•
Proximity to power and air sources
•
Enough space to accommodate the complete configuration of the BenchCel
Microplate Handler, computer, monitor, pendant, and integrated devices.
•
Enough strength to support the weight of the BenchCel Microplate Handler and
integrated devices without excessive shaking or movement.
•
Be fixed in place, for example, casters that lock.
•
Sufficient clearance on the back side of the BenchCel Microplate Handler to access
power, communication, and air tubing connections and for maintenance tasks.
•
Proper height for any operator to comfortably operate the BenchCel Microplate
Handler
The table must be level in the direction of the width and the depth of the platform.
Using a traditional bubble level, the table should be leveled such that the bubble is
centered between the two limit lines of the level.
The table surface must have a thickness relative to the material that will prevent
warping when the BenchCel Microplate Handler and computer are set upon the table.
