[W6]

5.4.6
Loading tips and enzymes
Important
: When the
Loading tips and enzymes
screen appears, the robotic arm will automatically
move slowly – even when the instrument hood is open – so you can access all of the loading
positions. Always stand clear of the instrument while the robotic arm is moving. Wait until the
robotic arm has completed its movements before you start to load or unload tip racks or enzymes.
After you are finished loading and you proceed from this screen, the robotic arm will automatically
move back to its original position (above tip rack position 3).
If more than one rack of the same tip type is loaded, the instrument will use the tip rack placed in
position 1 first, then continue to position 2, and then position 3. To use a partially filled rack first,
load it in position 1.
Depending on the selected protocol, loading of tips and enzymes might not be required. In this
case, the software will indicate that this step can be skipped.
