primarily with a 384-well plate. The offset value ranges from
-1.5 mm to 1.5 mm in increments of 0.1 mm.
Caution With 384-well plates, check that the offset limit is not too big
to prevent dispensing outside the wells.
Use the Up and Down arrow keys to adjust the value.
Press the 3 (Preview) key to move the plate carrier and align the wash

head over the first column of a plate. Then press the Up or Down
arrow key to move the plate carrier in steps of 0.1 mm.
Warning Well offset has an effect on the residual volume in the well.
With U- and V-shaped wells, setting the well offset off center will
increase the residual volume.
Note With Flat bottom wells, setting the well offset off center may
decrease the residual volume. This feature should only be used with the
Normal aspirate mode.
