Biomek® FX and FX-P Laboratory Automation Workstations Quick-Start Guide
To configure the
Instrument
Setup
step for your new method:
CAUTION: Do not place labware other than a tip box on a tip loader
position (TL#).
1. In
Deck
, make sure the default deck layout (Deck1) is selected. The
Instrument
Setup
step uses a deck layout
as a map for the placement of labware, ALPs, and
external hardware devices, such as stacker carousels.
2. Drag and drop the following labware on the Deck Layout Display:
•
an
AP96_200uL
to
TL1
•
a
Reservoir
to
P4
•
a
BCFlat96
to
P5
•
an
AP96_200uL_LLS
to
P16
; the LLS
means these are conductive tips that enable
liquid level sensing
on a Span-8 Pod.
•
a
Costar384FlatSquare
to
P12
. Your
screen should look like Figure 2-3.
Note:
To remove unwanted labware from the Deck
Layout Display during setup, drag and drop the
labware to the
Clear
(trash) icon.
