Define the Overflow Dispense Height
The overflow dispense height defines the height of the manifold during a dispense for an
Overflow wash. The dispense height must be higher or equal to the height for aspiration.
When using the Overflow wash mode, Molecular Devices recommends that you use a
dispense volume that is slightly more than the well volume.

You can define the overflow dispense height by editing the offset value, or by using the
