Specifying a Needle Height
The NEEDLE operation specifies the height of the needle above the bottom
of the vial. This height is used for
PIPET, MIX, and DISPENSE operations.
When pipetting, the height applies only to the source vial. The height is
measured from the tip of the needle to the bottom of the vial. Zero is
closest to the bottom of the vial; 46 is closest to the top of the vial.
NOTE For 0.3 mL and 1.5 mL vials, use a maximum needle
height of 2 mm, to ensure the needle’s vent is positioned
correctly inside the vial.
NOTE The needle height specified here does not change the
default sample needle height specified on the
