Click the tabs in the dialog to access information about the instrument. See
the hardware manual for detailed instrument specifications.
Eject/Retract Plate
The Eject/Retract Plate command on the main toolbar and Instrument
menu ejects and retracts the plate carrier in the microplate platform.
Note that every function that requires insertion of a plate into the platform (for
example, startup, wash, calibrate, etc.) includes an Eject/Retract button in its
dialog box.
Additional Instrument Functions
The Additional Functions submenu under the Instrument menu contains
secondary instrument fluidics functions. Selecting one of these commands
opens a dialog box to guide you through the procedure. Many of these
functions require the use of the Bio-Plex MCV Plate IV.
