Biotek MultiFlo FX - Require a Specific Peri-Pump Cassette

158 | Chapter 3: Operation
Require a Specific Peri-pump Cassette
When defining a Peri-pump step you can require a specific cassette type. Choose
the desired behavior when the required cassette is not installed at runtime:
l
Prompt the user to confirm: provides the best protection against an unintentional
mismatch. If the cassette type itself has been physically changed to match the protocol,
but the instrument's setting has not been updated, this option changes the MultiFlo FX's
setting upon confirmation. However, if the cassette has not been changed to match the
protocol, users are given a chance to cancel the run, fix the error, and rerun the
protocol.
l
Return an Error code: gives robotics programmers the ability to design and run
unattended processing routines without fear of a message screen interrupting the
operation.
l
Automatically Set the cassette type: this option changes the MultiFlo FX's setting
without a confirmation. This option is for advanced users only.
n No action is taken when the cassette type setting matches the protocol's
required cassette type.
n RAD technology cassettes add a layer of complexity to this feature. Error code
6029 is displayed when a mismatch of required or installed cassette types
occurs. Be as precise as possible when using this feature for best results.
Note: The Cassette Requirement Mode is automatically enforced when a 0.5 µL
dispense is requested. In this case, make sure a 1 µL cassette is installed.
