Bravo Platform User Guide
• Configuration C. The filter plate is not part of the station assembly. The robot will
move the filter plate to the station during the protocol run after the assembly
process is finished.
Installing the station
Before you start
To avoid potential injury and damage to the device, turn off the device before
installing or removing an accessory.
An SRT platepad is typically required to provide clearance for the height of the
assembled vacuum stack.
Make sure you have the following:
• Vacuum Filtration Station kit. Contains the vacuum manifold base and collar, tubing
for robotic and manual setups, waste bottle, and filter.
• M1.5 hex wrench
• Vacuum source. Use one of the following:
– House vacuum and pinch-valve module
The house vacuum must be regulated to a maximum of 286.49 mbar (8.46 inHg),
because the pinch-valve tubing will collapse with higher vacuum pressure.
– Agilent ME4C NT VARIO Pump
For detailed information, see the ME4C NT VARIO Pump manual at https://
