The carousel separates into four color-coded segments: red (R), green (G), blue (B) and yellow (Y).

Each segment separates into the following areas:

  • Positioning area that accommodates space for one sample rack or well plate

  • Support vial holder that comprises three vial positions for vials with a volume of up to 10 mL, such as reagent vials

    The support vial holder is positioned left of the area for the sample rack or well plate in each segment.
