NT8 User's Guide | Chapter 5: Hardware Overview
The NT8 Head
What you can find on the NT8 head:
● Low Volume (LV) Tip Attachments
Located at the bottom-left of the NT8's head, each LV tip attachment is equipped
with a sensor that indicates when a tip touches a surface. Indicator lights are placed
on the board that holds the LV tip attachments.
If the tip is touching, the sensor will be off and bright blue otherwise (see the picture
below).
● Optional: High Volume (HV) Tip Attachments
HV tips are located at the bottom-right of the NT8's head. Each HV tip attachment is
equipped with a sensor that detects any existing liquid in a deep well plate. The HV
tip attachment uses 200 µL pipette tips (eight at a time) to aspirate liquid from a
deep well block and transfer it to a crystallization plate.

Note: When you see a tip number referenced in the text, 1 is the tip closest to the back of
the instrument and 8 is the one closest to the front.
