Dispense Configuration (Pin Tool)
The table below describes dispense configuration options when a Pin
Tool head is selected.
Removal Speed Enter the speed (in mm/s) at which the pin tool is
removed from the source plate. The speed of removal
determines the volume of fluid remaining on the pins.
Note: Increasing the removal speed increases
the volume of compound on the pin after
aspiration. To decrease the fluid volume, slow
down the removal speed. It is recommended that
assay development be done to determine the
volume transferred based on removal speed.
Pause in Well Enter a duration (in seconds) to hold the pin tool in the
source plate after full insertion and before removal.
Item Description
Target Plate Select the plate to receive the fluid dispense; typically,
the Read Plate.
Height Enter the distance (measured in μL) from the bottom of
the well the tips should be inserted. The distance
equivalent in millimeters is displayed to the right of the
μL value.
Quadrant Select the quadrant of the target plate into which
compound is to be dispensed.
Note: Quadrant selection is only available when
liquid is aspirated from a plate using a pipettor
head of lower density, for example, 1536-well
plate using a 384 pin tool head.
Down Speed Enter the speed (in mm/s) at which the pin tool is
inserted into the target plate.
Removal Speed Enter the speed (in mm/s) at which the pin tool is
removed from the target plate. The speed of removal
determines the volume of fluid remaining on the pins.
Pause in Well Enter a duration (in seconds) to hold the pin tool in the
dispense plate after full insertion and before removal.
