Selecting the Dispensing Options
The FlexDrop iQ software offers four different dispensing options, which are
indicated as buttons Mixing, Dilution, Array, and Normalization
on the left below the wellgroup (see Figure 5).
To add a dispense option, click the desired button, and then edit the options
as described in each section below.
Mixing
is a simple liquid transfer step to dispense a distinct volume or
concentration of a chosen liquid to the selected wells on the target plate.
Figure 5. Dispensing Option - Mixing
NOTE:
When performing dispensing runs by concentration, the FlexDrop iQ
software is able to calculate the required volume, as long as all
parameters (total assay volume, liquid stock concentration and
desired concentration in target well) are given.
Define the Total assay volume for the whole target plate by clicking
the
Edit button and adjusting the assay volume.
Total assay volume can also be different for several wellgroups.
When defining the dispensing option by concentration, click
Uncouple to define another total assay volume for the selected
wellgroup, which is different from the total assay volume for the
whole target plate.
