About integrating devices in a BenchCel Workstation
About this topic
Typically, the BenchCel Microplate Handler, any supplied devices, and the safety
equipment in a workstation will be installed for you.
This topic provides basic integration concepts: how integration plates are used and
how to adjust device positions. The workstation layout and the device integration
procedures can vary, depending on the combination of devices you are integrating and
the desired configuration.
Before you start
WARNING
Changing the configuration or components of the installed workstation might
invalidate the safety compliance and lead to personal injury or equipment damage.

Installing the BenchCel device integration plate
The BenchCel device integration plates have locking mechanisms that keep the
BenchCel device and any external device in position during a run. The integration plates
must be installed under the BenchCel device.
To install the BenchCel device integration plate:
1
Position the integration plates on the benchtop.
2
If risers are required in the integration, install the risers on the integration plates.
3
Place the BenchCel device on the integration plates or risers.
4
Tighten the screws to secure the device on the integration plates.
Installing the external device integration plate
You can integrate an external device on the left or right side of the BenchCel device. For
each external device, you must install the integration plate that is specific to that
device.
