The end user us responsible for adding plates/reservoirs to the software. 
 
Note to the programmer:

 

Many of the settings discussed are located within the 

liquid handling commands of a program (aspirate/dispense/empty/mix etc.). These 
settings are “local” and will be applied only to the speci c program. Any settings that 
are made within a Con g or Setup  le will be “universal” and will apply to all 
programs as they run. 
 
The 

Overshoot and the Pre-Air Gap functions are both designed to help improve 

pipetting accuracy.  

 

Overshoot –

 The overshoot function can improve the accuracy of Multi-Dispense 

and Serial-Dilute commands. It automatically over-aspirates the target volume of the 
Aspirate command and immediately dispenses the excess back into the source (the 
Overshoot volume is set by the user). The extra movement of the plungers helps pick 
up slack in the chain of motor and piston movements and “primes” the piston for an 
accurate initial dispense. The following are standard Overshoot volumes for the SPT 
Labtech - Apricot pipettors (based on the high volume of the system). 

 

o

 

125µL = 3µL Overshoot 

o

 

550µL = 12µL Overshoot 

o

 

1000µL= 24µL Overshoot 
 

If the  rst dispense of a Multi-Dispense function is lower than the target 
volume, the user should increase the Overshoot value. 
The Overshoot should be changed to 0 for a Neat Transfer (1-3µL transfer) and 
the user should incorporate Pre-Airgap. 

 

The Pre-Air Gap setting is designed to Aspirate a speci c volume of air, dictated by 
the user, before aspirating the volume of liquid. It will help with the accuracy of Neat 
Dispensing. As with the Overshoot, The Pre-Air Gap helps pick up slack in the chain of 
motor movements and provides greater accuracy. 
 
Note: Using an Empty command will purge both the Liquid and Air Gap. A Dispense 
command allows the user to set a speci c dispense volume. 
 
Note: When the Pre-Air gap is purged, it can cause air bubbles in the sample. 
To prevent this the user can program a slower Plunger Speed during Dispense, 
and/or utilize the Divided Steps function in the Dispense and Empty commands.
