2-4 Learning to Create Methods for the Biomek® 3000
Beckman Coulter, Inc.
2.3 Configuring the Instrument Setup Step
CAUTION: An inaccurate Instrument Setup may result in pod and
labware collisions, or in inappropriate pipetting.
When creating Biomek methods, it is important to use the Instrument Setup step,
along with the Deck Editor, to tell the software what labware and devices are on the
deck for obstacle avoidance ( see sidebar ). You’ll learn more about the Deck Editor in
the next chapter (refer to Section 3.7, Creating a New Deck ).
Figure 2-2. Instrument Setup step in the Method View
When building a method,
you must ALWAYS use
the
Deck Editor and
Instrument Setup step
to tell the software what
labware and ALPs are on
the deck and the position
each occupies. If this is
not done, the pod could
collide into these objects
as it moves around the
deck during a method
run.
