Rinse Site

The instrument stores the location of a rinse site in memory. This allows the instrument to move to this location before homing the syringe and prevents the spilling of waste liquid or rinse diluent.

You must modify the rinse site coordinates if you have a Quad-Z 215 Liquid Handler. Refer to the following table to select the correct X, Y, and Z coordinates depending on the kind of probe rinse that will be performed. Coordinates for the rinse site are provided for the X, Y, and Z axis in millimeters. The coordinates identify the rinse site for the left-most probe installed on the Quad-Z 215 Liquid Handler.

	X	Y	Z
Shallow-pocket rinse	82.9	16.5	100.0
Deep-pocket rinse	82.9	3.8	47.5
Flow-through rinse	82.9	3.8	47.5
