Biotek BioStack 3 - Degree Orientation for Liquid Handlers

Remove the Shipping Hardware—BioStack 4 | 27
* 0° orientation (front-facing integration) is possible with these liquid handlers and
the BIOSTACK2WR. See 0 Degree Orientation for Liquid Handlers below.
If your instrument requires a wrist angle other than the default (shipped) setting
you must follow the procedure: Change Setting for Wrist Angle on page 29
The wrist angle designates the position of the gripper:
-90° angle +90° angle 0° angle
clockwise counterclockwise no rotation
When viewed from above, the +90° angle setting turns the wrist counterclockwise,
the -90° turns the wrist clockwise, and the 0° angle does not turn the wrist.
n Always put the barcode scanner on the opposite side of the gripper's position.
+90°/90° put scanner on right side; -90 put the scanner on the left side of the
instrument as you are facing it.
0 Degree Orientation for Liquid Handlers
Most BioTek liquid handlers can interface with the BIOSTACK2WR in a front-facing
or 0° orientation. This may be necessary to fit both the instrument and the BioStack
in a safety hood, for example. Or when bench space is limited.
n This option is not supported with BioStack 3 or BioStack 4.
Change the dipswitch setting as described below. Attach the BioStack aligning plate
to the instrument's aligning plate in the front holes provided, as shown here:
