The following are the Dispense parameters:
Select Injector Select either Injector A or B if the instrument is equipped with
two injectors.
Volume: Specifies the volume to inject into a single well.
Speed: Specifies the speed of liquid flow while dispensing.
Refill Speed equal to Dispense Speed:
Clear the check box to enter the refill speed which may be
different than the injection speed. The syringe can be filled
faster, even if the dispensing speed is low.
Read time like dispense time:
By selecting this check box, the dispense function and the
timing of the measurement is linked. Usually, the
measurement is performed much faster than dispensing a
reagent. Therefore, the time interval differs considerably
between dispensing and measuring from the first to the last
wells.
The overall dispense time is divided by the number of wells to
be processed to calculate the measurement delay for every
well.
However, there is no delay in dispense if the dispense time is
shorter than the measurement time.
Refill Mode Select either Standard or Refill for every injection.
Standard: Dispensing occurs as long as the syringe contains
enough liquid. As soon as the liquid in the syringe is used up,
the syringe is refilled with the entered refill volume (200 Pro
and M1000 – for FW 2.0 and higher - Ref 30061442).
Refill for every dispense: Refilling of the syringe occurs for
each dispense step.
Move Plate/Cuvette
Select the program element Move Plate/Cuvette to move the plate/cuvette out of
or into the instrument at a certain moment during the workflow.
If the plate/cuvette is moved out of the reader during a workflow (e.g. to pipet
some liquid into the wells of the microplate), it must be followed by a subsequent
Move in step, so that the measurement can be finished.
