Example method 3: “Dispense Selected Reagents”
This method, which employs an 8-position multiposition valve for selecting
multiple reagents to be added to tubes or microplates, is a typical example
oftheapplicationspossiblewhenaValcoorCheminertvalveisintegrated
into the pump/M6-LHS system. A wash step (or in this case, a prime step)
is incorporated between reagents.
NOTE: Wash is always in the dispense or outward direction of the
pump, and can be used for washing with a system fluid, or, as in
this case, a reagent.
By now you should know how to enter all the information shown in Figure 12
to create this method. (Only the first four positions for the 8-position valve
are shown.)
