=: describes the labware details, e.g.,
/: landscape orientation
3: portrait orientation
1XPEHU: number of items placed on the carrier (plates or tips)
0': medium density (96- or 384-well microplates)
+': high density microplates (1536)
$&: 96-well archive plates
$QQ identifies the part number revision (e.g. A00)
([DPSOH PLT-CAR-L5MD-A00 is a carrier for 5 medium density (96- or 384-well)
microplates in landscape orientation.
A carrier must always be identified (e.g in deck layouts and methods) by the unique
descriptor with which it is tagged.

CO-RE tips come in 3 sizes: low-volume, standard, and high-volume (approximately 10, 300,
and 1000 µl respectively). One blister pack contains 5 racks of 96 tips, giving a total of 480
tips. CO-RE tips are available in boxes of 4000-6000, depending on the tip size. CO-RE tips
are produced under sterile conditions, i.e. the tips are RNAse- and DNAse-free.
Reusable needles with 50, 300, and 1000 µl volumes may be used instead of tips. Only
HAMILTON needles and disposable tips should be used for coupling to the pipetting channel
of the Microlab STAR.

The needle wash station is a device for the washing and drying of steel needles parallel to
the pipetting process. The wash station has the width of a normal microplate carrier (6T) and
is mounted on the deck of the Microlab STAR. All tubing and electrical connections are
routed through the docking station at the rear of the instrument. Along with each wash station
comes a pump station with three reservoir containers for wash solutions and a waste
container. This pump station is placed below the bench on which the Microlab STAR rests.
