Danger of collision When running the
programmed application, the
tool carrier system will touch
racks or other labware on the
worktable; e.g., during
pipetting, the optical sensor
may touch a long tube on the
adjacent position; possible
reasons:
• A low plate (microplate) is
located next to a high tube
rack.
• The 50
μL or 300
μL tip is
programmed to move
almost to the bottom of a
very long tube with
another long tube in the
adjacent position.
Program the labware on
the worktable so that high
and low labware are not
adjacent.
Program the labware so
that the 30
µL
or
300
µL
tip
does not have to move
deeply into a long vessel.
If possible: use higher
volumes in the long
vessels.
If possible: use longer tips
for the long vessels.
