Special Procedure for Magnetic Bead Assays
Before using the Syringe Dispenser or Strip Washer to dispense magnetic beads,
you must remove the magnets that normally hold the dispense manifolds on the
instrument. Two thumbscrews are shipped with the manifolds to replace the
magnets.
1. Use the 1/16
th
hex wrench (PN 48713) to
loosen the set screw on top of the
manifold.
2. Take advantage of the magnet’s attraction
to the hex wrench to remove it from the
manifold.
3. Locate the thumbscrews shipped with the
instrument’s accessories. After sliding both
manifolds onto the dispense arm, put the
screws into the post to hold the manifolds
in place.
