1.2.6 Anti-Static Bar
The anti-static bar removes static electricity from crystallization plates before use. Static electricity
can cause the dispense drops to shift inside the subwells. Static charges are removed from plates
that pass in proximity to the anti-static bar.
1.2.7 Active Nest
An Active Nest positions a plate against the indexing pins under software control for accurate
dispensing. The shelf must be in the front position and contacting the electrical pins in order to
complete the software command to open the active nest. Flexinol® wires are activated to pull two
rollers in the upper right corner away from the center of the nest. When the rollers close, the plate
is pushed against the indexing pins. The active nest is normally in the closed position.
