SE mode includes SA (Sequential Aspirating) mode and SD (Sequential Dispensing) mode.
10.1 SA (Sequential Aspirating) Mode

8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 to set the sequential aspiration volumes. The total aspirating volume (including air gap volume) cannot
exceed the maximum volume range.
9. Press the Enter button to confirm the selection.
10. The count 01 and aspirating volume will appear on the display. The pipetting direction and speed will flash to indicate that the
pipettor is ready for liquid pick-up. Press the Plunger button to aspirate the samples. “A” will appear to remind the user to create
an air gap (by pressing the Plunger button with the tip out of the sample) between sample aspirations.
11. When the aspirations are completed, the pipettor will make two beeping sounds and will flash to indicate the pipettor is ready
for dispensing.
12. After the sequential aspirating cycle is complete and the liquid has been dispensed, press the Plunger button to reactivate the
whole cycle again until the user changes the function mode.
NOTES:
If the blow-out setting is selected, the Labnet Excel electronic pipettor will automatically blow-out the liquid during a sequential
aspiration mode.
The Sequential Aspirating (SA) function will not perform Reverse Pipetting in System (SYS) mode (even if it is selected).
