For the aspiration, the check box “aspirate all“ enables aspiration of the residual liquid from a
container (specify a volume larger than the expected residual volume within the container).
On dispense, the dispense mode “surface“ or “jet“ has to be selected. For aspiration and
dispense, the LLD (liquid level detection) settings have to be specified by clicking on the //'
button:
Within the LLD dialog, capacitance, pressure, or both LLD types may be switched on. A
sensitivity setting is necessary (see table in chapter 2). If LLD is used, a submerge depth has
to be specified, if a fixed height is prefered, the distance counted from container bottom is to
be specified. For the parallel use of both LLD types, a maximum height difference has to be
given, within which both LLDs have to respond.
The next step is to select the appropriate liquid from the dropdown field.
The selection by attributes (tip type, dispense mode) is automatically made, so that only the
liquid name has to be selected.
