Instrument Setup and Calibration

The tip offset calibration enables the software to
automatically determine the correct height calibration for the
200 µl tips, based on the height calibration that was
performed with 50 µl tips.
Before starting the procedure:

Ensure that a plate with “Reaction” or “Mix” function,
with well sizes large enough to accommodate 50 µl and
200 µl tips, is available — this plate must be position
and height calibrated.

Place a tube in the first well of the reaction plate.

Ensure that 50 µl and 200 µl tips are available, that Tip
Rack Holders are calibrated and that correct tips are set
as available.
1. Select “Options/Robot setup/Calibrate tip offsets”.
2. The “Configure tip offsets” dialog box will appear.
