2-2 Learning to Create Methods for the Biomek® 3000
Beckman Coulter, Inc.
2.2 Creating a New Method
In this chapter, you will build a simple method that transfers liquid between labware.
In building this method, you will:
• Populate the deck with labware using the Instrument Setup step.
• Transfer liquid with an MP200 Multi-Tip Pipette Tool using a
Transfer
step.
• Move labware with the Gripper Tool using a Move Labware step.
Note: A gripper tool rack must be installed on the Biomek 3000 deck to
store a gripper tool when not in use.
When you create a new method by dragging a step into the Method View, the Start
and Finish steps appear automatically. You will use an Instrument Setup Step to tell
Biomek Software where you have physically placed labware on your deck.
Before proceeding with this quick-start method, make sure that:
• an MP200 Multi-Tip Pipette Tool and Gripper Tool are added in Hardware
Setup (refer to Section 3.6, Using Hardware Setup ).
• the deck layout in the Deck Editor contains at least one GripperToolRack ,
one
ManualLatch
, and four
Biomek3000Positions
(refer to Section 3.7,
Creating a New Deck ).
Note: If your instrument configuration does not have a gripper tool, a
standard ToolRack position can be used instead of the GripperToolRack .
• the deck is framed (refer to the Biomek® 3000 Laboratory Automation
Workstation User’s Manual, Chapter 13, Framing the Biomek® 3000 ).
