Wash Parameters Table | 111
Option Description/Values range
Default
values
Same parameters as regular pre-dispense.
Wash format Manner of processing large-format plates Plate
Strip Performs the entire wash step on one section of the
plate before it moves to the next section.
Plate Performs each cycle on the entire plate before it
starts the next cycle. All wells in the plate are
aspirated, then dispensed to, and so on.
Washer Flow Rates
The default setting for flow rates is 5, in the middle of the range. Rates increase
from the slowest to fastest (11). Slower rates are recommended for viscous fluids.
Rate 1 is designed for cell wash assays, causing the least disturbance in the wells.
Rate µL/tube/second
Cell Wash 1 123
Cell Wash 2 140
3 210
4 252
Default 5 279
6 348
7 422
8 595
9 643
10 791
11 992
Note that flow rates are per tube. Depending on the wash manifold and plate type
there may be multiple tubes in a well.
