3. If the radius width of the label backing on the take-up roll is more
than 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, remove the label backing from the take-
up roll, cut it, and re-attach the end.
Too much label backing on the take-up roll can interfere with
operation of the VCode.
4. Use VCode Diagnostics to perform a plate-labeling test.
VSpin set up
For more detailed information about operating the VSpin manually, see
the
VSpin User Guide .
The VSpin can spin one or two sample plates at the same time. Spinning
one sample plate at a time always requires a counterweight plate. The
counterweight plate can be added manually or robotically.
To set up a VSpin:
1. Do one of the following:
‹
If you are using a manually loaded centrifuge counterweight,
place the counterweight into bucket 2, using VSpin Diagnostics
to open and close the VSpin door.
‹
If you are using robot-loaded counterweights, make sure you
have correctly set up counterweights in VWorks, placed the
counterweights in the correct plate positions, and checked to
make sure the buckets are empty.
‹
If you are spinning two protocol plates and not using a
counterweight, make sure you have set up the plate loading
properly in VWorks and that both buckets are empty.
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! To avoid a robot crash, always place the
counterweight into bucket 2 and leave the door open with bucket 1
at the front. The sample plate will always be moved to bucket 1 by
the robot.
