AM Dispense task parameters
278
Parameter
Distance from well bottom
(-20–100 mm)
Description
The distance between the tips of the probes,
cartridges, or disposable tips and the well
bottoms during the AM Dispense task.
If you specify dynamic tip extension, this is the
distance at the end of the AM Dispense task.
Use a positive number for tasks that are
performed with mounted cartridges, mounted
tips, or bare probes at labware other than a
cartridge rack.
If the task is performed in the upper cup of
unmounted cartridges, you can use a negative
number for the parameter value. In this case, the
well bottom is the top of the cartridge cup, as
shown in the following figure.
For example, a negative number enables a
prewetting step before mounting and priming the
cartridges.
IMPORTANT
You can use a negative number
for this parameter only if the AM Dispense task is
performed in cartridges that are located in a
cartridge rack.
IMPORTANT
The labware definition must be
accurate and the teachpoint must be precise in
order for the system to position the tips at the
correct distance from the well bottom.
