Fig. 15-29 Tip Alignment Results dialog box
Click OK to start the test. After the test is finished, the dialog box shows the
misalignment in mm for each of the tips.
If the misalignment exceeds the maximum allowed value for any of the tips, the
instrument must be re-calibrated by authorized personnel using the Setup &
Service software (see 1.2 “Reference Documents”, 1-3 for information on this
software).
The maximum allowed misalignment depends on the radius and shape of the
wells in the racks that you are using. It should be less than well radius - tip radius.
