Learning to Create Methods for the Biomek® FX

Beckman Coulter, Inc.

2.4

Configuring a Transfer Step for Multichannel 

Pod

If your instrument does not have a Multichannel Pod, skip this section and continue to 
the next.

The 

Transfer

 step transfers liquid from a single source to one or more destinations. 

You are going to insert and configure a 

Transfer

 step using the Multichannel Pod into 

the method to transfer liquid from the 

Source

 reservoir to the 

Destination

 

microplate.

Note:  

For information on the extensive selections available for configuring the 

Transfer

 step, refer to the 

Biomek Software User’s Manual, 

Chapter 16.3, 

Configuring Transfer and Combine Steps

.

2.4.1

Inserting a Transfer Step

To insert a 

Transfer

 step into your method:

Drag and drop a 

Transfer

 step from the Step Palette into the Method View just 

below the 

Instrument Setup

 step. Notice that the Current Deck Display shows 

the current position of all labware on the deck (Figure 2-7).

You’ll complete three sections to configure the 

Transfer

 step for this method:

•

Section 2.4.2, 

Configuring Tip Handling

•

Section 2.4.3, 

Configuring Source Labware

•

Section 2.4.4, 

Configuring Destination Labware

Figure 2-7.  Transfer step inserted into the Method View

A 

Transfer

 step loads 

tips, aspirates and 
dispenses liquid, and 
unloads tips. This 
eliminates the need to 
insert four separate steps 
to complete a liquid 
transfer. However, there 
are steps in Biomek 
Software that allow these 
steps to be performed 
individually with a 
Multichannel Pod on the 
Intermediate Step Palette 
(refer to the 

Biomek 

Software User’s Manual, 

Chapter 17, 

Using the 

Intermediate Step 
Palette

).
