Pin Tool task parameters
Description
The first height for the pin tool during the Pin Tool
task. The value is the distance between the pin
tips and the well bottoms.
For example, during an adsorb step, you might set
this value to 0 mm so that the pin tips touch the
bottom of the wells. This parameter can affect the
quantity adsorbed.
IMPORTANT
The labware definition must be
accurate and the teachpoint must be precise in
order for the system to position the pins at the
correct distance from the well bottom.
The option to specify a second height for the pins
during the Pin Tool task.
For example, you could cycle the pin positions
between two heights within the wells repeatedly
to perform mixing or to wash the pins.
Default: Not selected
The distance between the pin tips and the well
bottoms at the second height for the pins.
IMPORTANT
The labware definition must be
accurate and the teachpoint must be precise in
order for the system to position the pins at the
correct distance from the well bottom.
Available if you select the Use two distances
option. The Cycles parameter sets the number of
times to move the pins repeatedly to the two
heights, for example to perform mixing or to wash
the pins.
The option to touch the pins on one or more sides
of the well, or to enable the pins to make lateral
stirring moves inside the fluid, for example during
a wash task.
The side or sides of the well to use during tip
touch: North, South, East, West, North/South,
West/East, West/East/South/North.
