Limitations on
The dimensions of the Air LiHa tip adapter affect the workspace as follows:

• The Z-offset (not range) is smaller by 7 steps (0.7 mm) for instruments equipped with
space
the Air LiHa.
Labware
With the Air LiHa tip adapter the maximum permissible height of labware placed on
•
the adjacent grid position (on the left of the accessed grid position) is 3 mm smaller
compared to a standard tip adapter. This limitation applies when pipetting is done at
minimum Z-height.
ATTENTION
A magnetic field too close to the Air LiHa tip adapter may interfere with the reed switch in
the tip adapter and lead to unexpected switching with the result e.g. of a "DiTi not
fetched" error.
Pipetting Precision
Prerequisites Based on Lonza quality control requirements, the values in the tables below are only valid
if maintenance instructions and schedule have been followed strictly.
Definition
Precision is calculated as coefficient of variance (CV %). Typical pipetting precision is de-
fined as the median value of the CV (calculated over all channels) of all tested instruments.
Only Tecan® disposable tips guarantee attainment of the performance specified for the
Pipetting Tips
Lonza pipetting instruments.

Precision
The pipetting precision values listed below are based on the following criteria:
OPTIMIZED liquid handling precision data
•
(proven on 3 independent Air LiHa systems)
• For small volumes a single channel calibration is necessary
(see footnotes in table)
For details on single channel calibration refer to the EVOware Software Manual
• Custom liquid class in EVOware
