Optimizing the dispensing duration
The liquid dispensing duration consists of the dispensing interval that you
define and the dispensing speed. To optimize liquid dispensing, you adjust
both parameters.
• For the dispensing speed, see
„Setting the aspiration and dispensing
speed“ → 73.
•
For the dispensing interval, see „Setting the pause time manually“
→ 77.
Setting the pause time manually
When the STEP button is pressed and held, the device dispenses liquid
automatically. To manually adjust the pause time, proceed as follows:
a. Tap on the button.
b. Set the pause time.
c. Confirm the setting by tapping the
button.
 The pause time is set. By holding down the
STEP button the next time you dispense a liquid,
the liquid will be dispensed after the pause time
has expired.
Alternatively, you can also use the learn function
Setting the pause time automatically (learn function)
With the learn function, the device determines the average pause time after
dispensing 3 or more times. When the user holds the STEP button down
after the learn function has ended, the device automatically dispenses liquid
after the determined pause time has expired. This way, repetitive pipetting
tasks can be more easily managed by the user. Setting the pause time is
also easier since it is calculated for the current pipetting task.
