Bravo Platform Quick Guide
Stopping or pausing a run
Emergency stops
An emergency stop might be necessary to prevent a collision of the Bravo head with
another object, such as misaligned labware. If you want to temporarily pause and then
continue a run, see “Pausing and continuing a run” on page 12.
To stop in an emergency:
Press the red button on the emergency-stop pendant. The Bravo head stops moving.
Note: Interrupting the light curtain also stops the motion of the Bravo head.

the run where it left off.
