2.2.2 Microplate Loading Compartment
The microplate loading compartment is a compartment that is
separated from the measurement chamber; it is accessible via
the instrument door.
In its home position, the mobile microplate transport unit is
completely inside this compartment. After the power is turned on
and upon completion of a measurement, the transport unit
automatically moves to this position. This movement can also
be controlled via software.
The transport unit is a mobile tray accommodating the mi-
croplate. Controlled via software, the transport unit can be
moved into the measurement chamber so that the wells are ex-
actly positioned below the photomultiplier one after the other.
The transport unit can also be moved by hand. The transport unit
comprises a spring-loaded support tray for the microplate with
a device that prevents its slipping out of place and a frame
which can be folded up.
