1.4.2 Ambient Drawer and Plate Holders
The Ambient Drawer (Figure 1-4) is used to store microplates when room temperature
incubation in the dark is required. The ambient drawer extends into the work area during
pipetting. The ambient drawer includes four regions where a plate holder (Figure 1-5) can be
placed. The gripping slot is used to pick up a plate holder for transport and the positioning
spring clips are used to ensure that the microplate is properly seated in the plate holder.
