Liquid Level
Detection
Each tip can individually detect the surface of a conductive liquid by measurement
of changes in capacitance. Each channel has an individual liquid detection.
Generally, detection of conductive liquids of following volumes is possible:


50 µl: low-conductive liquid in microplates with round bottoms


100 µl: conductive liquid in sample tubes with a diameter of 10 or 13 mm


150 µl: conductive liquid in sample tubes with a diameter of 16 mm


5 ml: conductive liquid in reagent trough
Wetted
Materials
The standard liquid system components that come into contact with either system
or sample liquid are of the following materials:
