3.5 Configuring Instrument Settings in Flex Mode
3.5.10 Triturate Selection
Note:
The choices shown in this section are based on the number of compound transfers
you specified in the previous settings window. If no transfers are enabled, no triturate
settings are applicable.
Trituration is mixing of the contents of the wells in either or both the compound source
and assay plates. Trituration is accomplished by fluid being alternately aspirated from
and dispensed back into a well.
•
First, select the transfer (if more than one is enabled) during which you wish to
perform trituration.
•
Then, click in the box to select either Compound Source or Assay Plate, or both.
•
You can set the Volume of fluid to be withdrawn from the well and the number of
times (Cycles) it will be aspirated and dispensed back into that well.
•
In addition, for assay plates, you must also enter a value for the Height at which the
trituration occurs. The height setting should take into account the volume selected, so
that the tips remain below the liquid surface and do not draw air.
Triturate Settings
If you choose dispense times that are incompatible with the settings in this window, an
error message will appear.
Return to the Transfer Settings part of the Compound Transfer settings window to
modify the dispensing time.
