1 Introduction
Liquid-handling heads
12 Bravo Platform User Guide
The microplate compatibility and maximum volume for a given head is dependent on
the pipette tip, for example, the ST 70
µL tip is not compatible with a 1536-well
microplate. For more details on the tips available for each type of head, go to http://

Serial dilution capabilities
You can use the 96- and 384-barrel heads for serial dilution tasks to dispense fluid into
single columns or single rows of a microplate. You do not need to change heads during
the task.
Note: When using the disposable-tip heads in serial-dilution mode, certain deck
locations are not accessible. For more details on serial dilution, see the VWorks
Automation Control User Guide.
Controlling the liquid-handling head
You use the VWorks software to control the disposable-tip heads and pin tools for
performing such tasks as:
• Calibrating volumes
• Controlling pipette speed
• Enabling tip touching
• Enabling dynamic tip extension and retraction
