7.4.1.2 Function
The Front window and side Panels left & right protect the user from the moving
Pipetting Arm and from any contamination inside the instrument.
A Cover Control switch located inside the left vertical post controls the closed Front
window and will stop any movement of the instrument and also will abort a started
Method if the Front window is opened during a Run. However, it is still possible to
access all Carriers, loading and unloading, with the Front window closed. Opening is
necessary for maintenance Tasks i.e. deck surface cleaning, access to waste
station etc.
The Microlab
STAR Instrument can be run without side Panels when the optional
ML STAR Plate Handler and / or the ML SWAP require access to the deck.
