3.3 Setting Up the Gilson GX-271 Liquid Handler
For high-throughput screens, the Roboocyte2 can be used with an industry standard liquid
handler from Gilson (optional), the GX-271.
Warning: Only hardware configurations and probes provided by Multi Channel Systems
GmbH are supported. Other versions may lead to incompatibilities, up to damages to the
hardware (needle breakage for example). Please verify the system configuration with
Multi Channel Systems GmbH if you obtained the product from a different source other
than Multi Channel Systems GmbH.
Installing the Transfer Port on the Locator Pane
Please see also chapter "Using the Transfer Port".
Important: Please note that only the leftmost rinse, drain, and transfer ports can be used with
the Gilson GX-271 liquid handler. The other transfer ports have to be closed with plugs, you
can use convenient screws. Do not remove the plugs; otherwise, the suction will not suffice
to aspirate solvents from the transfer ports.
1. Connect the provided waste tubing to the waste outlet on the back of the rinse / transfer port
station.
2. Remove the two Phillips screws from the back of the rinse / transfer port station.
3. Raise the cover on the rinse station and align the holes in the rinse / transfer port station with
the holes on the top right side of the locator pan, please see figure "Gilson GX-271 Solvent Deck",
which shows how the Gilson should look like after the installation. (The cover does not need to be
removed completely.)
4. Locate the two Phillips screws included with the rinse station and place them through the holes
on the base of the rinse station, see figure. Tighten the screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
5. Lower the cover on the rinse station and replace the two screws on the back.
