Description

Programming

All wash protocols on the Opsys MW™ Microplate Washer are user-defined. Up to 40 wash protocols can be contained on the system.

Note: Memory limitations may restrict the size and complexity of an individual wash protocol.

In addition, the system can be configured with up to ten different plate types so that the wash head positions for each plate type can be specified.

Programming of a new wash protocol (or modifying an existing one) and configuration of the system are carried out using the keypad and display.
