AM Dispense task parameters
About this topic
This topic describes the task parameters for the AM Dispense task, which is
available only for the Bravo 96AM Head.
The AM Dispense task is designed for dispensing fluids through AssayMAP Bravo
cartridges that are mounted on the Bravo 96AM Head. In addition to the parameters
for the Dispense task, the AM Dispense task allows you to override the flow rate from
liquid class.
To run the AM Dispense 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.
Parameter description
The AM Dispense task has the following parameters.
Parameter Description
Empty tips The option to empty all liquid from the probes,
cartridges, or tips instead of using the dispense
volume specification.
Volume (µL) The volume of liquid to be dispensed from each
probe, cartridge, or tip.
Blowout volume (µL) Specifies the volume of air to dispense after the
main volume has been dispensed while the
probes, cartridges, or tips are still in the wells.
Typically, the blowout volume is the same as the
pre-aspirate volume.
Note: Blowout occurs only in the last quadrant
dispensed for a given AM Dispense task.
Liquid class The pipetting speed and accuracy.
IMPORTANT To ensure consistent pipetting,
always select a liquid class for liquid-handling
tasks.
Override dispense flow rate
from liquid class
The option to override the dispense velocity in the
selected liquid class. Selecting this option enables
you to specify a value for the dispense flow rate
without changing the liquid class.
