NOTE
If you are going to use the standard 24-pin format, no vacuum cover should be installed. Skip step
11 and proceed to installing the calibrant reservoir (step 12 on page 129).
11. Place the vacuum cover on the dry station:
a. Select the proper vacuum cover for the installed insert.
CAUTION
!
It is important to use the correct vacuum cover for the pin installed insert. Otherwise, pins will not
be washed properly and samples may become cross-contaminated.
b. Orient the vacuum cover so that there are two alignment pins forward and one pin
at the back.
c. Put the vacuum cover on the dry station so that the alignment pins (on the cover
bottom) fit into the wells and L-shaped channel indicated in Figure A.20.
