Define the Side for Aspiration
This option defines the position of a flat-bottom microplate for aspiration. If crosswise
aspiration is enabled, then this option defines the position for the first step of a crosswise
aspiration. Molecular Devices recommends that you place the aspiration needle close to the
edge the well in a flat-bottom microplate.
