PyroTec™ PRO Hardw are User’s Manual, V1.2 79
RT-MN024-1.2 02/21
Cylindrical or cuboid-shaped cavities allow for optimal tracking. When using differently
shaped cavities, their inner dimensions and their immersion depth must be optimized.
The inner diameter of the cavities (or of test tubes) must be calibrated carefully and typed
in the corresponding data fields.
To ensure safe handling (e.g transport by means of RoMa, PnP, etc.) of the containers,
make sure that the fill level of the cavities does not exceed the following limits:
• Fill the test tubes to a maximum of 80%.
• Fill microplates to a maximum of 80% of the cavity volume
• Fill reagent troughs at maximum to the specified volume (e.g. 100 ml trough: 100 ml
equals approximately 90% of the total trough volume.
8.4.2.2 Liquid Handling with LiHa
When configuring samples that will be tested on PyroTec™ PRO, it may be necessary to
adjust conductivity settings such that the system is able to correctly detect liquid levels.
