MANTIS User's Guide | Chapter 6: Initial Setup
Default Volume and Tubing Length Recommendation
The following values for your chip input settings are a good starting point to design your
dispense for the first time, but may require some changes depending on your application
and length of tubing. It is recommended for you to cut your input tubing to a length of 45
cm.
All chip input settings can be configured from the Input Control panel. Click the Input
button to display the Input Option dialog box, and then specify all the chip input
settings as needed. If you are using a tube, refer to the default values under the Tube
Input Source Type section. If you are using a pipette tip, see the Pipette Tip Input Source
Type section.
