LE220 (-plus, R-plus, and Rsc) Setup & Instruction Manual

Addendum for LE220Rsc
Covaris developed the LE220Rsc to allow scanning treatments of 96 and 384 well plates. This requires additional travel front-to-back (X axis)
of which the LE220R-plus is not capable. To accomplish the extra range of motion, the LE220Rsc employs an X axis motion stage with an
additional inch of travel. The extra travel is accommodated by a longer water bath and safety enclosure, which now extend slightly out the
front of the instrument. To minimize additional length, the chiller connections are moved from the front to the side of the water bath.
Setting up the LE220Rsc is the same as for a conventional LE220R-plus except for the connections to the ultraCUBE Chiller/Water Conditioning
System. The upper hose from the WCS 2 must connect to the lower fitting of the water bath. The temperature sensor for the water bath is
adjacent to the two hose connections. The lower hose fitting contains a long tube to bring the cooled (heated) water from the chiller away
from the temperature sensor to prevent an erroneous temperature reading.
Upper fitting from WCS must connect
