MicroFlo Select Operator's Manual
Software
The MicroFlo dispenser is operated by onboard software, controlled through the
dispenser’s keypad or with BioTek’s Liquid Handling Control (LHC) Software,
purchased separately.
The onboard software, called the “basecode,” has an identifying
part number:
7170200 and version number.
The 7170200 basecode supports the following features:
 An easy-to-use, menu-driven interface.
 One-button launch of Prime, Purge, and Quick Dispense programs.
 Storage of up to 99 programs.
 User-definable program names, to easily distinguish them at runtime.
 Configurable program parameters such as variable dispense flow rates,
dispense heights, and plate map, i.e., the columns to dispense to.
 Optionally, the LHC provides computer control of the MicroFlo and the
MicroFlo Select Interface Software offers a .NET
software component for
robotics programmers.
Compatibility with the BioStack Microplate Stacker
The MicroFlo Select is compatible with BioTek’s BioStack Microplate Stacker.
Controlled serially by the MicroFlo or BioTek’s Liquid Handling Control (LHC)
software, the BioStack system can rapidly and systematically transfer microplates one
at a time, to and from the dispenser, and includes:
 Removable stacks (one input and one output) that can hold up to 30
microplates each.
 Optional restacking of plates to maintain correct sequencing.
 The ability to continue processing a stack of plates following the
aborting/failure of one plate.
 The ability to pause processing to add more plates to the input stack or to
remove some from the output stack.
If you have purchased the BioStack to operate with the MicroFlo, refer to the
BioStack
Operator’s Manual
for instructions on configuring the dispenser to run with the
BioStack. If you are interested in purchasing the BioStack, contact your local BioTek
dealer for more information.
