Probe Vertical
Height
The vertical height determines how far the sample probe goes into
the sample tube or sample well when aspirating a sample. It is set
when the Luminex 100 analyzer is shipped. Readjust the vertical
alignment any time the instrument is moved, the probe is removed or
replaced, the type of plate you are running changes, or any time
sample acquisition is slow or sporadic.

‹ To adjust the sample probe’s vertical height:
1. Turn on the Luminex XYP, the Luminex 100 analyzer, and PC.
