Tip Rack Drawer
The top drawer holds the pipette tip rack.
Only tips specified by Molecular Devices for use with the FlexStation 3
instrument can be safely used. See
Parts and Accessories on page 153.
Compound Plate Drawer
The compound plate drawer holds a 96-well or 384-well microplate. The
instrument can simultaneously transfer a column of fluids from the
compound plate:
• Eight fluids from a 96-well compound plate to a 96-well assay
plate
• Sixteen fluids from a 384-well compound plate to a 384-well
assay plate
Reading Chamber Drawer
The reading chamber drawer opens to accept a 96-well and 384-well
microplate for analysis in the reading chamber. It is the lowest of the
three drawers.
The reading chamber drawer operation varies, depending on the
incubator status. When the incubator is off, the reading chamber drawer
is open at power up and after a read. When the incubator is on, the
drawer closes automatically to maintain the temperature of the reading
chamber.
CAUTION! Do not use parts and accessories that are not authorized by,
specified by or provided by Molecular Devices. Using unauthorized parts
can damage the instrument.
Note: Be sure to install the compound baseplate before placing a
compound plate in the drawer.
Note: Be sure to install the black microplate adapter before placing an
assay plate in the drawer for standard 96-well and 384-well microplates.
See Installing the Drawer Adapters on page 62.
