Instrument Setup and Calibration
7-10 QIAgility User Manual 11/2011
4. If the plate had a previous calibration, a dialog box will
appear, asking whether to reset the Z-axis height. Click
on the “Yes” button to reset the height, or click on the
“No” button to retain the current setting. The “Adjust
Height” dialog box will appear.
Caution : If the current setting is retained and the plate
position is too high, the tip may jam into the plate and
bend the tip.
Raise tip to “0” Lifts the pipetting head to the current “0”
position.
Lower tip to
current setpoint
Places the pipetting head at the height that
corresponds to the displayed “Level at
bottom of well”.
Home Z-axis
Lifts the pipetting head to the top (home)
position and resets the “0” position.
Level at bottom
of well
Indicates the proposed manual plate
height calibration value — a Z distance
measured from the “0” or home position.
The goal of manual plate height
calibration is to set this so that the tip is just
above the base of the tube/well.
5. Adjust the height of the tip in the “Adjust Height” panel.
