Replacing Gripper Fingers
The gripper fingers are easily replaced by pulling the damaged gripper fingers out of the head and
pushing the replacement fingers into the head.

Removing Gripper Fingers
WARNING
Avoid all labware on the Biomek NX deck when removing or installing grippers. It
is recommended that all labware in the vicinity of the pod be moved or removed
to avoid spills and contact with labware.
CAUTION
Use caution when removing gripper fingers. Since gripper fingers mount tightly
into the Multichannel Pod, they pull free of the Multichannel Pod suddenly.
To remove grippers:
1 Move the Multichannel Pod to the maximum Y- and Z-axis limits (refer to CHAPTER 4, Using
Advanced Manual Control).
2 Grasp both sides of the gripper (Figure 1.11).
3 Apply force in a downward direction to pull the gripper from the head.
