The
pipettings
head’s
basic
functionality
is
to
aspirate
liquid
from
and
dispense
liquid
into
a
microtiter
plate
or
a
reservoir
in
an
automated
process.
The
InnuPure
®
C96
works
based
on
the
principle
of
air
displacement.
The
pipette
tips
and
their
internal
seals
create
air
spaces.
Pistons
perform
motion
within
these
air
spaces.
They
are
powered
by
a
common
drive.
Piston
motion
occurs
in
steps
of
0.1
μ
m,
thus
achieving
an
accuracy/resolution
that
corresponds
to
a
fraction
of
a
microliter.
Further
main
factors
of
influence
on
accuracy/resolution
performance
are
the:
– wettability
of
tips
– dimensional
accuracy
of
outlet
openings
– way
in
which
the
system
and
liquid
are
handled.
NOTE
Piston
motion
creates
negative
pressure
or
positive
pressure,
thus
causing
liquid
to
be
aspirated
or
released.
Upon
reaching
pressure
equalization
state,
the
current
process
is
completed.
The
time
required
to
reach
this
state
depends
-
among
other
factors
-
on
the
properties
of
the
liquid
being
handled.
