Eppendorf Xplorer® (plus) — Operating manual
Removing and installing 1 200 μL channels
Only disassemble the channels when the upper part is detached from the lower part.
1. Press the unlocking tool as far as it will go into the base plate.
The base plate can now be detached by pulling gently at the side - at the side with the
unlocking tool inserted. This loosens the base plate on the other side. Remove the base plate.
2. Take the inner part out of the housing case.
3. Loosen the fixing strip from the inner part. To do this, push the fixing strip away from the inner
part in the area near the three fixing strip catches on the inner part.
4. Have a close look at the channel arrangement in the inner part. Four channels are accessible
from each side. The tip cone of the channels is eccentric to the cylinder. The channels on the
opposite side are therefore positioned "mirror-inverted". Ensure that the channels are inserted
so that they are aligned in the center again during subsequent assembly.
5. Completely press down the guiding rail for the piston rods. Press the piston rod lightly out of
the guiding rail and remove the channels.
