Bravo Platform User Guide
Parameter Description
Empty tips The option to empty the entire contents of the
pipette tips, including fluid and air. The Volume
parameter is ignored if this option is selected.
Volume (µL) The volume of liquid to be dispensed from each
pipette tip.
Pre-aspirate volume (µL) The volume of air to be drawn before the pipette
tips enter the liquid.
Blowout volume (µL) Specifies the volume of air to dispense after the
main volume has been dispensed.
Typically, the blowout volume is the same as the
pre-aspirate volume.
Note: Blowout only occurs in the last quadrant
dispensed for a given dispense action.
Liquid class The liquid class associated with this liquid.
IMPORTANT To ensure consistent pipetting,
always select a liquid class for liquid-handling
tasks.
Mix cycles The number of times you want to aspirate and
dispense. Each cycle consists of one aspirate
action and one dispense action.
Distance from well bottom
(mm)
The distance between the end of the pipette tips
and the well bottoms during the Wash Tips 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.
