About this topic
The Aspirate task draws liquid from a microplate or reservoir. This topic describes
the task parameters.
To run the Aspirate task, see “Performing a task using Bravo Diagnostics” on
page 100.
Parameter description
The Aspirate task has the following parameters.
Parameter Description
Volume (µL) The volume of liquid to be drawn into each pipette
tip.
Pre-aspirate volume (µL) The volume of air to be drawn before the pipette
tips enter the liquid.
Post-aspirate volume (µL) The volume of air to be drawn after the liquid is
drawn.
Liquid class The pipetting speed and accuracy.
IMPORTANT To ensure consistent pipetting,
always select a liquid class for liquid-handling
tasks.
Distance from well bottom
(0–100 mm)
The distance between the end of the pipette tips
and the well bottoms during the Aspirate task.
If you specify dynamic tip extension, this is the
distance at the end of the Aspirate task.
IMPORTANT The labware definition must be
accurate and the teachpoint must be precise in
order for the system to position the tips at the
correct distance from the well bottom.)
