Consumables - 3.6 Plate lids

firefly is compatible with some types of plate lid, which you can download from Community Labware.

IMPORTANT: Do not substitute alternative lids for the type specified in a protocol as firefly's grippers may not move correctly to pick the lid up. 

If you need to use an alternative, check if it is available through Community Labware, download it and modify your protocol to use your preferred lids. 

If you cannot find the lid you want on Community and you need the specific type, contact reliance  for advice.

Do not substitute alternative lids for the type specified in a protocol as firefly's grippers may not move correctly to pick the lid up.

3.6.1 Shelf protectors

firefly+ is supplied with a shelf protector. You may want to use this when you return a used plate lid to the firefly+ shelves for storage, to reduce the risk of contamination, but its use is entirely optional.
