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.
