3.2 First Use of the Roboinject
This section contains important information about the general concept of the Roboinject and
the setup of the system. Please read the "Important Safety Advice" in the introduction prior to
installing the Roboinject hardware and software.
The Roboinject Hardware
The Roboinject is compatible with standard lab equipment and can be easily integrated
in your working environment. Software controls for all settings replace any knobs on the device.
The Roboinject is straightforward and easy to operate; handling does not require special skills or
special equipment.
The well plate carrier, powered by linear motors, hovers smoothly and noise free on a cushion
of compressed air above the magnetic x/y table. The carrier operates at a resolution of 20 μm.
The complete system does not require maintenance other than occasional cleaning of the steel
plate. The well plate carrier can hold up to eight industry standard 0.5 ml reaction tubes serving
as sample reservoirs.
