Aspirate Aspirate Sets the aspiration volume.
Asp. Speed Sets speed uniquely for aspiration (1 = low, 10 = fast).
Height Sets the height for the aspiration step.
Mixing Mixes the sample in the source plate before the first aspira-
tion.
If on, define Mix volume, Mix Speed and number of Mix
Cycles.
Dispense Disp. Speed Sets speed of all dispensing steps (1 = low, 10 = fast).
Height Sets the height for the dispensing steps.
Mixing Mixes the sample in the target plate during dispensing.
If on, define Mix volume, Mix Speed and number of Mix
Cycles after a transfer.
TipTouch It is highly recommended to activate a tip touch after a
dispensing step to remove drops that may cling to the pipette
tips.
• Sets where the tip touch should be performed.
“Liquid”: the tips will dip into the center of the wells.
“Side”: the tips will touch to the side of the wells.
• Defines the height for the tip touch (“TipTouch at”).

Tip Travel Defines the distance which the tips move during an aspira-
tion, dispense and mix step to artificially track the liquid level,
see “7.8
Tip travel distances” on page 47.
• Source Asp: moves the set distance down during aspira-
tion from the source location.
• Source Mix: moves the set distance down and up during
mixing in the source location.
• Target Disp: moves the set distance up during dispensing
in the target location. The same distance is used to move
down during aspiration in the target location.
• Target Mix: moves the set distance down and up during
mixing in the target location.
