Explanation
Repeated flushing of the pipette tips, with blowout. Source plate = target plate
Aspiration of a defined volume; dispension with blowout. Mixing cycles are possible.
Diluting: aspiration of a defined volume of sample + air bubble + diluent. Dispension with
blowout.
Aspiration of total volume + additional volume. Dispension in several sub-steps.
At the end: dispension of residual volume into reservoir, with blowout.
For small volumes, foaming or (highly) viscous liquids.
Aspiration of a defined volume + additional volume. Dispension of volume. Up to 20 repetitions
possible. At the end: dispension of residual volume into source plate or reservoir.
Aspiration of a defined volume. Dispension into a prepared diluent volume.
Performing mixing cycles. Required: tip magazine with 8 or 16 tips per column.
Motorized release of the tip holder with Change Tips command.
Motorized tightening and sealing of the new tip holder.
Repeating the last pipetting steps with Move and Pipetting / "move + pip" (without saving).
