Tubing Cassette Diagram
RAD™ Technology tips replace #1 Tip Holder when installing the
cassette.
1. Tip Holder: The cassette’s easiest part to identify, the tip holder fits into the
dispense arm to the right of the pump for positioning above the plate. Except
RAD technology cassette tips fit into a dedicated dispense arm.
2. Center Holder: The center holder is labeled to identify the size of the cassette
tubing. It also has a serial number for tracking purposes. It slides into grooves
on the underside of the pump.
3. Tube Tensioner: The transparent 5-mm scale on its front surface identifies the
tube tensioner. It has internal screws for stretching the tubing, one for each
tube. The tube tensioner’s scale is useful when calibrating the cassette.
4. Tube Organizer: At the opposite end of the cassette from the tip holder, the
tube organizer holds the 8 tubes together for inserting into the fluid vessel.
Except it is omitted from the single-tube cassettes.
5. Tip Guard: Remove the tip guard before installing the cassette. The tip guard
protects the tips during shipping. It is not a permanent part of the cassette. The
RAD single-tube cassette also ships with a tip guard.
