vertical axis) can be adjusted to improve
performance. Default values are plate type
dependent, and position the manifold at least 1 mm
above the plate.
Pre-
dispense:
When enabled, dispenses into the priming trough
immediately before filling the plate. Pre-dispense is
recommended for most applications. It normalizes the
tips to ensure precise fluid distribution. Set volume
and number of pre-dispenses.

Syringe Dispenser Flow Rates:
Rates are volume and plate-type dependent:
For example, rate 1 must be used when dispensing between 10-19 µL to a 96-well
plate. When dispensing 20-49 µL to a 96-well plate, you can use rates 1 or 2. And,
when dispensing 50-59 µL to a 96-well plate, you can use rates 1, 2, or 3. And so
on, as shown in these tables.

Note: For 16-channel syringes the µL/sec/well rate accounts for 2 tubes/well
when addressing 96-well plates and one tube/well for 384-well plates.
