Mini-Tube Racks
The MultiFlo FX supports a special mini-tubes rack, which is available from BioTek
as an accessory item:
l 96 Mini-Tubes, in standard 12 column x 8 row format
Before dispensing to the mini-tubes, install the Special Plate Carrier for Mini-tubes on
the previous page provided for this vessel. You can use the Peri-pump and 8- and
16-tube Syringe dispensers to fill the mini-tubes.
n Note: Position adjustments in the Y-axis are prohibited with the special plate
carrier for mini-tubes.
Dispensing to Mini-Tubes
Unlike most dispensing with the MultiFlo FX, the fluid stream does not hit the
center of the well or tube when dispensing to the mini-tubes using the special plate
carrier. This image illustrates where the fluid stream is positioned depending on
the type of dispenser used:
Two tubes address each mini-tube when using the 16-tube Syringe manifold. For
the 8-channel devices, one channel per mini-tube is engaged.
n Note: Position adjustments in the Y-axis are prohibited with the special plate
carrier for mini-tubes.
