handle the equipment by the X-Y table.
Locating the Quadra 4
When selecting a suitable place to set up your Quadra 4, please consider the
following:
The Quadra 4 should be placed on a level surface. A slanted surface can cause the
liquid to pool to one side of a well or reservoir and may impair your ability to fully
pipette out small volumes.
Be sure to leave at least four inches (10 centimeters) between the back of the
Quadra 4 and any wall or shelving that may impair the movement of air through the
cooling fans.
Although the Quadra 4 can supply its own air pressure, some accessories may
require a water source (normally DI), a vacuum source, a place to drain waste liquid,
or additional space for a vacuum trap or controller module.
For overall space requirements, please refer to the instrument dimensions under
"Physical Specifications" on page 12.
