Install the BioStack

Follow these steps to use the BioStack with your washer/dispenser. Both instruments will be controlled by the LHC.

1. Connect the BioStack to the computer.

   Follow installation instructions in the BioStack User Manual for installing it, i.e. setting it up to interface with your washer/dispenser.

• If you have been controlling the BioStack with the instrument, you must change the washer’s/dispenser’s on-board BioStack configuration setting to ”Manual.” Refer to the instrument's user manual for instructions.

Launch the LHC and define the BioStack: fill the BioStack checkbox in the top center of the main view.

3. Click the Port link beneath it and tell the LHC the BioStack's COM Port number, and test communication.
4. Use the BioStack Utilities to align the BioStack's gripper with the instrument's plate carrier: select Tools>BioStack Utilities and engage the Alignment Utility (as described in the BioStack User Manual.)
