Figure 11. Removable cartridge rack inside the instrument.
The cartridge rack consists of two separate parts. The left cartridge rack is used for cartridges in
positions from 1 to 12. The right cartridge rack is used for cartridges in positions 13 to 24. On the
worktable, the cartridge rack is located behind the tip rack. Both parts of the cartridge rack together
hold up to 24 reagent cartridges.
For more information on how to load the cartridge rack, refer to the Loading the cartridge rack
section (see page 109).
Sealed reagent cartridges (supplied with the EZ1 DSP and EZ1&2 kits) are prefilled and contain
the reagents needed for a protocol run. Each cartridge consists of 10 sealed reagent wells and 2
empty heating positions. One heating position is a well and the other is a slot that can hold a tube.
