Internal Washer Parts
Internal Vacuum Source
The instrument is equipped with an internal vacuum pump that requires no
adjustment or preparation before use.
Internal Pressure Source
The instrument is equipped with an internal pressure pump that creates air
pressure in the liquid reservoirs, eliminating the need for gravity feed. The
pressure level can be adjusted between 0.0 and 0.6 bar (approximately 9 psi).
The air pressure is supplied through the small quick couplings on the rear side
of the instrument labeled Pressure port (Figure 7). The default air pressure
value is 0.25 bar (approximately 4 psi). The air pressure value can be set for
each wash program through the on-board software and adjusted for different
assays.
TIP: Adjusting the level of the
air pressure also adjusts the flow
rate of the liquid entering the
microplate wells.
