General Description

Sample tubes
A range of tube types can be used with the QIAgility. The
following sample tubes are supplied with the instrument:

5 ml free-standing tubes

200 µl PCR tubes
Note : Supplied sample tubes are not guaranteed to be
sterile.
Free-standing tubes (5 ml) are typically used to hold diluent
and large volumes of master mix. These tubes are normally
supported in the Master Mix Block.
PCR tubes (200 µl) are typically used to hold samples and
reactions, and are normally supported by the 96-well
adapters.
Important : Tubes supplied by different manufacturers may
have slightly different dimensions, despite a similar
appearance. Such differences can significantly affect the
calibration settings, in particular the plate height calibration.
We recommend that once a particular tube type is chosen,
the user always purchases that consumable from the same
manufacturer to avoid frequent recalibration.
Conductive Filtered Tips and Tip Rack Holders
Tip Rack Holders can hold 200 µl or 50 µl Conductive
Filtered Tips on the worktable. Supplied tips are carbon
impregnated. See Section 6.4.4 for details about how to
insert tips into a Tip Rack Holder.
