Air Gap Volume
The amount of air (in µL) that is aspirated in the tips before any liquid is
aspirated. This allows you to blowout any residue at the end of your dispense in
order to have the least amount of error when calculating the amount of liquid
actually dispensed into your plate.
The Air Gap is taken at the height set by the Clear Top Steps in your
plate database. The height of the blowout is set in the Dispense Dialog
when you insert a Dispense Step, and is NOT a result of the Clear Top Steps
value.
Note: Air Gap Volume becomes the Blow Out Volume when Dispense occurs.
Calibration Table
The Calibration Table drop down menu consists of user defined pump data for
the liquid type used. See documentation on distribution CD.
Additionally,refer to Section”3.37 Program Operations Common Options” on page 89
for information on other parameters used by this function.
