Edit Dispense Configure a dispense step in the table by selecting it and
pressing the Edit Dispense button, or double-click on the
row. This opens the Edit Dispense dialog.
Use this dialog to define dispense parameters reported in the
table.
Target Plate —From the list, select the plate to receive the
fluid dispense. Typically, this is the Read Plate .
Quadrant —Select quadrant from which volume is
dispensed.
Note: Quadrant selection is only available when
liquid is aspirated from a plate using a pipettor head
of lower density for example, 384-well plate using a
96-pipettor head.
Volume —Enter volume (in μ L) to dispense.
Note: In the last dispense, the entire contents in the
tip is dispensed.
Height —Enter the distance (measured in μ L) from the
bottom of the well the tips should be inserted prior to
dispensing.
Note: Tips move upward the full volume of dispense
during dispense, for example, a 10 μ L dispense with a
start height of 35 μ L will put the pipettor height at 45
μ L after dispensing. This movement helps prevent
well overflow when tips are submerged in the well.
Tips will not move higher than the full volume of the
well.
Height value will need to be adjusted when transferring from
previous FLIPR
