Which sides to use for tip touch The side or sides of the well to use during tip
touch: North, South, East, West, North/South,
West/East, West/East/South/North.
Tip touch retract distance
(–20 to 50 mm)
The vertical distance for the pipette tips to rise
before touching the sides of the wells.
Tip touch horizontal offset
(–5 to 5 mm)
The horizontal distance the tips move. The value
is based on the well diameter specified by the
labware definition.
For example, if you set a value of:
• 0, the tips move a horizontal distance equal to
the well radius
• > 0, the tips attempt to move past the well
radius, which results in a more forceful tip
touch
• < 0, the tips move a distance less than the
radius of the well, resulting in a lighter tip
touch
