Disposable protein trays come in high volume and low volume versions and come in packs of 100 trays.

Two magnet clamps (for LV and HV protein trays) are also included in the accessories kit to secure the protein tray to the top of the protein block.

A High Volume (HV) Multi Source Protein Block and tips are also available as a replacement part or optional accessory to support experiments that need more protein than a standard Protein Block is designed to hold.

(OPTIONAL) Plate Copy Pipette Tips

Reference Plate

The reference plate is an aluminum plate used by the Support team to tune plate stations. Both V3 and V4 hardware versions has its own Reference Plate Design. For example, the V3 version has holes located at each corner which are used as targets to tune drop positions. The NT8 Control Software determines all of the drop positions for your plate from these four points.

HD Seal Jig Transfer

The HD seal jig transfer is used to attach the HD seal to a microplate. It is used in hanging drop experiments.

LV Head and LCP Head Calibration Pin

The pin is used for calibrating the LV head and the LCP head.

The USB cable connects the NT8 to a PC.

Water Carboy

The water carboy is the water reservoir for the NT8. It is used by the humidifiers and the wash station.

Waste Carboy

The waste carboy is used for liquid waste.

Ball Point Hex Keys

Also known as an Allen wrench, ball point hex keys are included for troubleshooting purposes. They can also be used to tighten or loosen the NT8 shipping bolts.
