CAUTION
Damage to the instrument
Visually inspect and make sure the rotor is not damaged or deformed before
each run.
36-Well Rotor
The 36-Well Rotor is red in color. The 36-Well Rotor and 36-Well Rotor Locking Ring enable the
use of 0.2 ml tubes. The tubes do not need to have optically clear caps because the Rotor-Gene Q
MDx reads fluorescence from the bottom of the tube rather than from the top. Domed capped tubes
can also be used.
72-Well Rotor
The 72-Well Rotor is blue in color. The 72-Well Rotor and 72-Well Rotor Locking Ring are used
with Strip Tubes and Caps, 0.1 ml, which can be used for volumes as low as 20 µl. The caps
provide a safe and reliable seal.
