QIAgility User Manual 11/2011 3-3
3.2.1 Instrument lid (1)
CAUTION Damage to the QIAgility lid
[C5]
Do not use alcohol, solvents, reagents containing acids,
alkalis, or abrasives to clean the instrument lid. For more
information, see Section 8.1.1.
The lid of the instrument provides both an isolated enclosure
for performing purification and a safety mechanism.
The instrument lid incorporates a magnetic sensor to
determine whether the lid is closed or not. Under no
circumstances should this sensor be bypassed.
The instrument lid must be closed for the software and
hardware to initialize upon start-up and for a run to proceed.
Opening the instrument lid while the robotic arm is performing
a run will cause the robotic arm to pause.
Extreme care should always be taken when opening the
instrument lid during a run as the pause in robotic operation
may take several seconds to be completed.
The instrument lid may remain open when calibrating the
position and height of plates. Do not interfere with robotic
arm movement during these calibrations and keep all body
parts out of reach of the robotic arm while it is moving.
Important : Care should be taken when opening the lid
during a run because it takes up to 10 seconds for the
instrument to complete the current movement and for the
pause to take effect. Under no circumstances should this
sensor be bypassed.
3.2.2 Feet (2)
The feet of the instrument have a non-slip silicone base to
ensure that the QIAgility remains securely positioned on a
laboratory bench. Do not attempt to slide the instrument on a
bench. Always lift the instrument to avoid damage to the
silicone base of the feet.
