About this topic
This topic describes the task parameters for the Dispense to Waste task, which is
available only for a location with a Tip Wash Station (also known as a MicroWash
Reservoir).
The Dispense to Waste task moves the pipettes by a horizontal offset and then
dispenses used fluid in between the chimneys in the Tip Wash Station. The software
calculates the horizontal offset automatically based on the labware definition for the
Tip Wash Station.
To run the Dispense to Waste task from Diagnostics, see “Performing a task using
Bravo Diagnostics” on page 100. To use the task in a protocol, see the VWorks
Automation Control User Guide.
