2.1.10 Selecting an END location
If you wish to read partial strips, you may use the END key to return the strip to home without
reading an entire strip. When the display shows
“Set Carrier” , press the END key and enter the
number of total wells you wish to read. If you are reading multiple strips, the instrument will
function normally until the partial strip is reached.
2.1.11 Strip Carrier Loading and Positioning
The three-position carrier (12 well standard, 8 well available as an accessory) fits into the
instrument by placing the carrier’s groove over the bar on the instrument. Place your strip such
that the blank well or first well is located in the well closest to the carrier groove. If using break-
apart wells in the 12 well carrier, start from the front of row A and fill all 12 locations, then begin
at the front of row B, etc., and continue until done. Ensure that the wells are firmly placed in the
carrier; wells that are not fully seated may be seated too high to enter the instrument's optical
system. Slide the carrier to position the strip you wish to read in the center of the instrument’s
read area. A panel with a notch assists you in lining up your carrier; align the strip you are
reading with the notch.
The instrument requires placement of the first standards in strip 1/A, but has no specificity for
subsequent strips. The printout will show the location of the carrier for each strip read.
