Flow Rates - Dual-syringe Model
Flow rates are the values entered in Flow menus
(Asp Flow or Disp Flow).

Example
When using the 2 mL tapered transfer-tubing,
a 5 mL syringe at the left-hand side and a 500 µL
syringe at the right-hand side, the default aspirate
flow rates are respectively 100 mL/min and
20 mL/min. The dispense flow rate, accessible by
pressing Deflt soft-key, is 120. The implicit flow
rate of the small syringe is 20 mL/min.
If the value of the flow rate is between 120 and 20, the
flow rate of the left-hand syringe takes this value
and the flow rate of the right-hand syringe is 20. To
reduce to the flow rate of the right-hand syringe, it
is necessary to enter values below 20 mL/min.
