Pin tools are supplied with blotting stations that can be loaded into one
of the plate positions. Blot pin steps can be configured in the protocol to
remove fluid from the pins, for example , following pin washing.
Optical System
The FLIPR
®
Tetra System optics are housed in the bottom compartment
of the main cabinet. In fluorescence assays, where excitation is
required, light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is directed at the base
of the read plate exposed in position 3 in the 5-position stage above.
Light emitted from the plate travels down through emission filters
before being captured in the CCD camera. Details on the main
components of the optical system, CCD camera options, the LEDs, and
emission filters, are presented below.

Note: A waste bottle sensor override (P/N 0700-0827) is available in
the FLIPR
®
Tetra System accessory kit to bypass the waste sensor and
dispose waste in containers other than the dedicated waste carboys.
