For the washing of needles, three SMART Steps are available. The idea is that needles can
be used like disposable tips without bothering about the organization of the three wash
modules of a wash station.
To do this, the QHHGOHSLFNXS command
- waits until a wash module is ready,
- picks up needles from a wash station (or from a separate needle rack, which is in fact an
empty tip rack filled with needles: e.g., the lowneedle_l.rck).
Dragging the command to a method tree opens the following dialog:
The sequence requested here is the sequence running over all (three) modules of a wash
station, thus having 24 positions (8 from each module). This sequence has to be generated
using the sequence editor. The SMART Steps automatically take care of handling the
individual wash modules by incrementing the appropriate sequences in the background.
