In contrast to the Quick Dispense programs selected at the keypad’s main menu, the
MicroFlo’s
Protocols require a unique name, using up to 16 alphanumeric characters.
You create
Protocols by defining and saving the dispense parameters. Up to 99
Protocols can be stored onboard the instrument.
When using the LHC, an unlimited number of Protocols can be saved on your
computer.
See a comparison of the Quick Dispenses and Protocols in the
Essential Concepts chapter.
