HighPressure
ValveRotations

SILNVLR

-

Counts the number of rotations of the high-pressure valve.

LocationNaming

Alphanumerical,

Numerical

(SIL-20A, SIL-20AC, SIL-20AXR, SIL-20ACXR, SIL-30AC only)

Determines whether rack positions are labeled using an alphanumeric or numeric format. When using the Fill Column function (F9 key) in the Browser or Sequence Wizard, position names are automatically generated according to the currently selected setting.

The property is available for the following rack types:

• Well Plate with 96 or 384 wells,

• Deep Well Plate with 96 or 384 wells

Example:

For a (Deep) Well Plate with 384 positions, position may be labeled like this:

Numerical: 1_F1 to 1_F384 (front plate) and 1_B1 to 1_B384 (back plate), 2_1 to 2_10 (control vials).

Alphanumerical: 1_FA1 to 1_FP24 (front plate) and 1_BA1 to 1_BP24 (back plate), 2_1 to 2_10 (control vials).

LowPressure
ValveRotations

SILNLVR

-

Counts the number of rotations of the low-pressure valve.

LowPressureValveRotStator

-

Counts the number of rotations of the low-pressure valve stator.

The property is available for the following rack types:

• Well Plate 96, Well Plate 384,

• Deep Well Plate 96, Deep Well Plate 384
