Introduction
Description
The number of dispenses when using the
MMUULLTTII
function, or
the number of mix cycles (1-9) when using
SSDDIILLUU
or
MMIIXX
functions.
Interrupts and ends any function or is the last step in some
Liquid Handling Functions.
Indicates that the pipette pistons are at the overblow or lowest
position at the end of a
MMIIXX
function.
Pace is an adjustable timed interval delay between
automatic repetitive dispenses when using the
MMUULLTTII
function (1 is slowest setting, 4 is fastest).
Ovation pipettes use “beep” tones to indicate various
actions, or can be disabled.
• A single beep tone indicates the end of a pipetting step.
• A double beep tone indicates the completion of the (last)
dispense cycle when using the
MMUULLTTII
function and
RREEVVEERR
.
• A triple beep tone indicates the end of a liquid handling
function.
• An alert tone indicates the pipetting trigger was pressed
before set-up was completed, or an illegal action or
programming error has occurred.
The contrast on the liquid crystal display can be adjusted as
needed.
After 10 minutes of inactivity, the pipette automatically
enters
SSLLEEEEPP
to conserve battery power. Press any button
or the pipetting trigger to resume operation.
When the pipette is first activated from
SSLLEEEEPP
, the
HHOOMMEE
prompt is displayed while the plungers are automatically
reset.
Set-up of Liquid Handling Functions
The Ovation multichannel pipette’s keypad is easy to use and provides access to all liquid
handling functions and settings. Simply press the buttons on the keypad to step through
the various functionss and make changes to settings. When a setting indicator is flashing,
this indicates that the setting has been changed from a previously “saved” setting.
A number of settings, such as speed, count, and mix, appear in each liquid handling
function. While their set-up is similar in all cases, they must be established
independently within each liquid handling function.
