La pompe peut être sélectivement déplacée par l'étage jusqu'à une position permettant d'accéder à un embout de pipette jetable logé dans le support d'embouts de pipettes, une position permettant d'accéder à un flacon de réactif logé dans le support de flacons de réactifs, ou jusqu'à une position permettant d'accéder au récipient pour échantillon dans la centrifugeuse.
