● The pump will run until the fluid drains to the minimum level and begin to fill the
humidifier reservoir with the distilled water until it reaches the maximum fluid
level.

Lubricating the plate copy plungers is an important maintenance step that should be done
every 6 months or as needed. If you are noticing aspiration or dispense issues when trying to
perform a plate copy (also known as creating daughter plates from a deep well block), you
should perform the actions in this tutorial as a troubleshooting step. The estimated time
required to lubricate the plate copy plungers is 30 minutes.
Before you begin, please make sure there are no Low Volume tips attached to the NT8's head.
You will need:
● The hex keys (shipped in your accessory kit).
● A small paint brush (shipped in your accessory kit).

● A deep well block filled about half way with water colored with food dye.
● A daughter plate.
