Section 3.3 – SOLOPlus
The SOLOPlus option is the addition of a Hudson Robotics, Inc. Micro10x reagent
dispenser that is attached to the side of the SOLO (See Figure3.3). The SOLO is
equipped with an alignment bracket that is attaches the Micro10x to the SOLO chassis.
This alignment bracket can be mounted in the front position of the SOLO, so that the
Micro10x nest is located at the SOLO deck position 6, or in the back position, so that the
Micro10x nest is located at the SOLO deck position 5. This bracket contains two
alignment pins which locate the Micro10x into its proper position. During shipping the
SOLO and Micro10x are shipped in different boxes. To install the Micro10x onto the
SOLO, you will slide the Micro10x next to the SOLO where the alignment bracket is
installed. Slowly lift the Micro10x up, so the bottom of the plastic deck is above the
alignment pins. Move the Micro10x into position, so that the alignment holes in the
Micro10x plastic deck are aligned with the alignment pins in the SOLO bracket. Slowly
move the Micro10x down until the Micro10x deck is located on the pins, and that the
bottom the Micro10x deck is sitting flush on the alignment bracket. You may have to
adjust the feet on Micro10x to re-level the unit to the SOLO deck. (See Figure 3.4)
