 To set the application parameters for the Detect volumes function (see Defining the application

parameters of the labware on p. 44).

Off • Deactivate the optical sensor.

• The volume of all vessels must be entered when the application is

started.

For labware with ≤ vessels, the volume for each vessel can be

specified in the Volume column.

For labware with > 56 vessels, one volume can be specified for all

vessels. This volume will be recommended at the start of the

application, and can be changed.

• The volume specification does not take into account the surface

meniscus of the liquid.

• If the volume is not enough, the result may be faulty dispensing.

All positions • Check the volume of all positions in a labware.

• If you work with an eight-channel dispensing tool, the epMotion uses

the calculated volume for each vessel.

• If you work with a multi-channel dispensing tool, the epMotion uses

the lowest calculated volume in a column for the liquid aspiration

and the highest calculated volume in a column for the liquid

dispensing.

If the filling levels in one plate differ significantly or the labware has very low filling levels, use

the Aspirate from bottom and Dispense from top option. Do not use the Random access (see

Sample transfer > Options command on p. 50) option.
