Variant Methods
Each of the methods on the Maxprep™ Liquid Handler can be customized by the administrator
to meet the processing needs of the laboratory. The administrator can create variants of
the default method that specify new default values, set minimum and maximum ranges and
determine whether values can be changed by users at run time for a variety of processing
options.
Creating a Variant Method
1. To create a new variant method, select the icon on an existing method entry to open the
‘Save-As Variant’ screen (Figure 16, Panel A). The new variant method will initially be
populated with the values from the original method or variant method. Changes made to the
method will be saved as a new variant method.
To edit an existing variant method, select the icon on an existing variant method entry
to open the ‘Edit Variant’ screen (Figure 16, Panel B). Changes made to the variant method
will modify the existing variant method.
