*1 µL cassettes' maximum recommended dispense volume is 50 µL/well.
‡ 0.5 µL dispensing is supported when using a 1 µL cassette.
¥Depending on wash manifold, See Performance Specifications on page 21.
BioTek recommends priming a dispenser with three times its dead volume to
prepare it for accurate dispensing.
Processing Time
§
Protocols were optimized for speed to obtain the following processing times,
including the fastest flow and travel rates. Some of these parameters are listed in
the Parameters column of the table. Only standard, non-RAD Peri-pump
cassettes are referenced here.
