Blot Pins Process
The Blot Pins process is only available for the pin tool. This function is
used to dry the pins between transfers or washes, to prevent
carry-over.
Pause Pipettor Process
Pause Pipettor steps are included in a protocol to prevent future
pipettor motion until the pause is complete. Read processes may
continue to execute, unless stopped by the linked action “read with
transfer”. This can be useful to stop the pipettor from picking up
compound if it will then sit for an extended period in the air. Also, it can
be used to provide time for solvents (such as EtOH) to evaporate off
the pins after a wash.
This process has only one configurable setting, the duration of the
pause, entered in seconds.
Settings/Options Description
Target Plate Select the plate.
Height Enter distance (measured in μ L) from the bottom of
the well to place the pins. The distance equivalent in
millimeters is displayed as well.
Float pins —Moves the pipettor down to a position at
which the pins would be 1 mm below the bottom of
the wells. As pins come to rest on the blotting surface
additional downward motion of the tip block is
absorbed by the tips moving into the block. This
ensures that all pins are in contact with the blotting
surface. The
Height is designated as -1.00 mm.
Pause in Well Enter a duration during which the pin tool is held
motionless at the set height.
Unload Pin Tool After
Blot
Automatically unload the pin tool once blotting is
complete.
