Once loaded, a source plate can be placed in Source 1 in both manual
and robotic modes.
Exchanging Pin Tools
Loading and Unloading the Pin Tool
Pin tools are blocks loaded with pins, which are loaded onto a pin tool
head to transfer fluid. Two pin tool heads, 1536- and 384-well formats,
are available for the FLIPR

Tetra System. Each pin tool head is
compatible only with the pin tools of its respective format. Pin tool
heads will not pick up pin tools whose magnetic ID does not match the
respective head format. Therefore the 384-well pin tool head will not be
able to pick up 1536-well pin tools or vice versa. This is designed for
the safety of the pin tool.
Pin tools for a single head type are user-exchangeable. Up to eight or
fourteen pin tools are available for the 384- or 1536-well pin tool heads
respectively. Pin tools for a given head are exchanged using the
Load
Tip and Unload Tip
commands in the
Instrument/Manual
Operation
menu. Each tool is picked up and clamped to the head using
pin tool block grippers similar to the 1536 pipettor head.
If you intend to use Position 1 for a source well plate, load tips
manually and then remove the pin tool rack prior to starting an
experiment. Once loaded, a source plate can be placed in Source 1 in
both manual and robotic modes.
Note:
Sensors indicate only the presence of an object in plate position
and do not indicate whether it is a source plate or tip rack.
