Hazard Summary
The motors used in VolumeCheck instruments are not powerful enough to cause harm to your
hands or fingers if you were to get them trapped.
The most significant hazard when using VolumeCheck is the open tubes or plates of your reagents or compounds. You must carry out risk assessments for your materials, and take appropriate safety measures.
CAUTION: follow your lab's safety instructions for handling materials e.g. wearing suitable gloves.
Loading VolumeCheck
VolumeCheck holds the well plate or tube rack on the input tray.
- Press the Tray button (top button on front of unit) to open or close the tray. Alternatively, use
the buttons in the VolumeCheck software. - Place plate or tube rack on the input tray. The well plate or tube rack fits inside alignment
bars on the input tray.
Plate and tube rack size limitations
To avoid possible damage to your instrument from oversized labware:
- Power off VolumeCheck to test labware height prior to use.
- Do not place an oversized object in the input tray.
- Oversized objects taller than the opening on the front of the unit can jam the input tray.
- Oversized tube racks or well plates can damage the VolumeCheck sensor.
