5.6 Pipetting alternating wells
The pipetting arm of ASSIST PLUS moves in Y-direction (to the rear or the front) to
accommodate even and odd rows/columns of plates using a pipette that does not
correspond directly to the row/column number. For example, pipetting into all 16 wells per
column of a 384 well plate with an 8-channel pipette.
In predefined programs and in VIALAB created programs the movement is automatically
performed. In Custom Programs the movement needs to be manually defined by adding
a Move Y step.
A positive value (e.g. Move Y 2.25) moves the pipette to the rear to accommodate the
wells in the rear, starting with A1.
A negative value (e.g. Move Y -2.25) moves the pipette to the front to accommodate the
wells in the front, starting with B1.
