Modifying Load Volume - Thermo Scientific Multidrop Pico 1 Operating Manual

Running a protocol
Fill the cassette reservoir (see Loading fluid for the description of the
physical loading). At this point, the software is waiting for you to fill
the reservoir and then indicate that the reservoir has been filled by
clicking Filled (or Enter). When you click Filled, dispensing of that
fluid will proceed.
Note The Load Volume quantity of the Load Fluid prompt will always
be greater than the amount of fluid requested to be dispensed. The
volume to be dispensed for each fluid is labeled as the Total Volume in
the right-hand column of Fluid list on the Main Operating Window.
The difference between the dispense volume and the load volume is to
account for the dead volume, the fluid which is retained in the
dispensehead after dispensing. The dead volume is dependent upon the
dispense volume and fluid class, with greater dispense volumes and
certain fluid classes having greater dead volumes. The minimum load
volume ensures proper priming of the dispenseheads (see Appendix E –
Dispense Specifications in the dispenser Software User Guide).
Modifying load
The load volume, which is included in reports, can be modified at the
fluid prompt to match the actual volume to be loaded. Load volumes
volume
can only be increased from the required amount.
To modify load volume, move the cursor over the volume on the
monitors and click when highlighted. A popup box allows the
dispensehead volume to be modified.
