About Quick Dispense Programs
The MicroFlo stores up to 10 Quick Dispense programs for quick retrieval and
execution. The last used program is always ready-to-run. It is shown in the top line of
the Main Menu with the plate type, cassette type, and dispense volume, as in the
example shown above.
Quick Dispenses perform a two-cycle pre-prime immediately before execution. The
prime volume matches the cassette volume and two primes are performed. A Quick
Dispense using a 5 µL cassette will be preceded by two pre-dispense primes of 5 µL, for
example.
Whenever you define/change dispense parameters and run the routine, the program is
saved for reuse. New programs displace the oldest ones. These programs are not
named, which distinguishes them from the Protocols. Read a comparison of the Quick
Dispense and Protocols in the Essential Concepts chapter.
