4.2.2 The Infinium LiHa and Infinium RoMa Worktable
Positioning
Pins
On the Infinium LiHa and Infinium RoMa
worktable, evenly spaced positioning
pins ensure proper positioning of all carriers according to the grid represented
within the software. One grid position defines the minimal width of carriers, e.g.
wash stations and strip racks for tubes. The positioning pins also enable the
sliding of carriers/racks in Y-direction.
Sliding Carriers
and Racks
Sliding carriers and racks are needed for:
Replacement (loading/unloading) of carriers or racks during operation,
The identification of tubes, microplates, troughs etc. on carriers by the PosID.
4.2.3 Liquid System Structure
Liquid System
refers to all instrument modules and parts which contain or
directly influence liquid. The figure shows an example for an eight-tip
configuration with one liquid handling arm.
In case of a second liquid handling arm, each LiHa is equipped with its own parts,
i.e. the two liquid systems are independent.
