The SMART step pipette is a multifunctional command for various kinds of pipetting tasks.
The Pipette Step allows the user, for example
- to copy one plate into another, or
- to transfer from tubes to a plate with variable numbers of samples, or
- to aliquot reagent into a plate,
all within one step without taking explicit care about the instrument’s initialization, single
steps for aspiration and dispense, sequence handling, or loops. As is the case for all
Microlab STAR user software components, SMART Steps too make use of sequences.
Therefore, the pipetting task should be reflected within the sequences defined for this step.
For the explanation of sequences we refer to chapter 7.
In this chapter, the general features of the SMART Step are explained; examples can be
found in the chapter „Methods for Microlab STAR“.
Dragging a SMART step into the method tree opens the SMART Step input dialog:
Let us now walk through the different sections of the SMART Step.
