9.2.2 Positioning tools on the worktable
9.2.2.1 Dispensing tools
When the application is started, epMotion checks if the required tools are available. You can choose the
order of the dispensing tools freely.
 Place the dispensing tool with the gold contact at the rear right of one of the T1 to T2 holders.
9.2.3 Positioning the epT.I.P.S. Motion on the worktable
The optical sensor detects the type of pipette tips using the coding on the tray. The epMotion removes the
pipette tips from the rack column by column. Additional information is available on the epT.I.P.S (see p. 41)
1. When using epT.I.P.S. Motion Reloads, place the tray on the tip holder.
2. Place the rack or tip holder on the worktable location with the label pointing toward the front.
3. Remove the lid.
NOTICE! Damage to the gold contacts from handling.
The tool is damaged if the gold contacts on the tool become damaged or contaminated.
 Do not touch the gold contacts.
Observe the instructions for use for the epT.I.P.S. Motion Racks and epT.I.P.S. Motion Reloads.
NOTICE! Dispensing error due to incorrect handling of pipette tips.
Tips become deformed and change size during autoclaving.
 Do not autoclave the pipette tips. Use tips with the sterile specification, if required.
 Do not stack any racks that contain pipette tips.
NOTICE! Incorrect stock detection due to missing pipette tips.
The optical sensor checks the start position and end position of the pipette tips in the rack.
The optical sensor does not check if pipette tips are missing in the center.
 Do not remove any pipette tips from the rack.
NOTICE! Contamination due to using incorrect pipette tips.
The optical sensor does not detect if the pipette tips on the worktable are intended for single
use (epT.I.P.S. Motion Rack, epT.I.P.S. Motion Reload) or multiple use (epT.I.P.S. Motion
SafeRack).
 If the pipette tips will be used several times, equip the entire worktable with epT.I.P.S.
Motion SafeRacks.
