1.5.3 VERTICAL MANIFOLD TO MICROPLATE ADJUSTMENT
To provide maximum flexibility in washing the microplate, the vertical aspiration position of the
manifold is adjustable for well depth aspiration requirements and overflow wash applications.
The factory default settings have been found to be acceptable for the majority of applications.
The following steps are used to make changes within the allowed range of ± 35 steps.
1. Place the microplate to be used in the plate-holder.
2. Press and hold . Press the button for about 4 seconds until the instrument beeps and
shows "CAL” on the display.
3. Press . The instrument will display "ASP" to indicate you are entering the aspiration
adjustment mode. Press and the manifold will rise and move to the factory defined
adjustment row and stop at the “Final” aspiration well depth position, as shown on the next
page. The display will show “335”, indicating the factory default position.
4. Press to move the manifold up or to move it down. Each press of the button
will produce approximately .002" (.05mm) movement of the manifold up or down. The
display will add or subtract 1 count for each press of a button.
Example: If the aspirate needles are determined to be too deep in the well, press
while observing needle positioning. If is pressed five times, the aspirate needles will
move up approximately .010" (.25mm).
5. Press to accept this setting and the manifold will then move to the “Top of Well”
aspiration adjustment position, as shown on the next page. The display will show “110”
indicating the factory default position. This adjustment is only required to be changed for
“Bottom Wash” or “Overflow Wash” applications in special test requirements.
6. Press to accept this setting, and return the manifold to the soaking microstrip wells.
7. Press to return to the program operation.
