Mechanical Subsystem
x-Axis and y-Axis Movement
The MAGPIX mechanical subsystem includes the plate carrier and the assembly that moves
the sample probe. The carrier moves along the y axis, to allow the sample probe access to
each row of the microtiter plate. The sample probe assembly moves along the x and z axes,
allowing it to access each column of the microtiter plate. Between the y-axis movement of the
carrier and the x-axis and z-axis movement of the sample probe, all wells of the microtiter
plate are accessible.
