Welcome to the BAX® Prep Xpress
Now that your Prep Xpress has arrived, you are only a few short steps away from easily automating your workflows.
First, decide on a space in your lab to put the Prep Xpress. As you decide, ensure your space fits the following specifications:
The space must have a level surface with enough room to easily access all parts of the Prep Xpress.
The area should be consistently well-lit, without shadows from windows (or other instruments) that would affect labware recognition.
The surface must be stable and able to support the Prep Xpress’ weight (~85 lbs). Shaking and vibrations can negatively affect your results, especially for low-volume applications.
The space must have access to a power supply that accepts input between 100 VAC to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 hz.
Once you decide on a space, you can unbox and begin installing the Prep Xpress by following the instructions in this booklet.
