A. TIP BOX DOMINO
There are three types of tip box Dominos, according to the
type of tips which can be hosted.
B. TIP BOX DOMINO BASED ON TIS TECHNOLOGY
The tip box Domino, based on
patented TIS technology, can
hosts racks of tips compatible
with Andrew Alliance pipettes
of up to 1250
μ
L. The TIS
technology decreases the
required force to carry out
tip insertion and improve its
accuracy and reproducibility.
C. TIP RACK HOLDER DOMINO FOR 5 mL
AND 10 mL TIPS
These tip rack holder Dominos are designed and optimized to
host the high-volume tip rack for the 5 mL and 10 mL Andrew
Alliance pipettes.

i. Waste
The waste Domino is equipped
with two electronic connectors:
one side is connected to the
base of the Robot
and one connects to additional
docking stations in case more
than 4 tools are required during
execution of the experiment.
The waste Domino hosts
a foldable silicone waste
designed by Waters, and
capable of containing up to 900
pipette tips 1 mL.
VII. HOW TO INSTALL THE WASTE DOMINO
■
Facing the Robot, place the Waste Domino on
the left side of its body.
■
Slide the Waste Domino inside the base plate of the
Robot, verifying the alignment between the
connectors present on the Waste DOMINO and inside the
base plate.
J
. DOMINOES
The conventional consumables
required to execute
experiments are arranged into
a magnetic-based modular
system called Dominos. By
means of this system, the
Robot can identify
the type of consumable and
their position in the working area. Each Domino can host one
or more consumables according to its design.
Each Domino is equipped with two or more markers optimized
for its optical tri-dimensional location.
An additional label containing the name of the Domino and its
unique serial number is present as well. Such information is
also stored in two Datamatrix markers which are scanned by
the Robot for traceability purposes.
For additional information about cooled Dominos, please
download the Domino catalog on
waters.com/andrewalliance
or contact Waters.
