The following method transfers liquid from tubes to a plate using steel needles. The
aspirations and dispenses are done with single steps and for the washing of needles the
SMART Steps are used. A reduction of the number of samples is possible.
The method uses the following deck layout:
A plate and a set of four tube carriers (of 24 tubes is used). Add the standard plate carrier
(PLT_CAR_L5MD). Add a Nunc plate (nun_96_fl_l.rck) and name it “Plate”. as well as the
tube carriers (car24_cup15x100.rck) as decribed previously. In addition, a wash station is
added to the rightmost position on the deck. Select the carrier for the wash station
“car_wash_1_standardneedle.tml” from the ML_Star directory.
Save the deck layout under the name “TubesToPlateWithNeedles(.lay)”.
Create a sequence holding all tubes called “Samples”, and a second sequence holding all
wash modules and name it “WashStations”, using the sequence editor as described in the
previous examples.
Click on Edit Method and link the deck layout to the method to be written.
