Biotek 405 LS - Manifold Stop Screw Adjustment Kit

94 | Chapter 3: Operation
1. Measure the combined height of the
plate, magnet, and carrier in
millimeters.
2. Measure the plate and the carrier.
3. Calculate the offset: (plate + magnet +
carrier) - (plate + carrier) = Magnet
Height Offset
1. Remove the carrier from the washer.
2. Put a magnet in the carrier and the type of plate you will be using on top of it.
3. Measure the distance from the bottom of the carrier to the top of the plate in
millimeters (mm).
4. Remove the magnet, and measure the plate and carrier combined.
5. Subtract the plate and carrier measurement from the measurement value of the
total combined elements. This is the offset value to use.
Example:
24.6 mm = 96-well Corning microplate + 96-well flat magnet + plate carrier
- 22.7 mm = 96-well Corning microplate and plate carrier
1.9 mm = Magnet Height Offset
Manifold Stop Screw Adjustment Kit
For Magnetic Bead Assays and 384-Well PCRPlate Processing
To successfully perform these assays, 405 LS Select and HT models may need to
adjust the height of the manifold stop screw. The adjustment kit, PN 1170011, is
shipped with instruments with a dual manifold.
