3.2 – Aspirate Step

This step will move the pipettor to a selected aspirate position, then aspirate the

indicated volume of fluid. The display shown below depicts an Aspirate step

drawing 95 uL from well ‘A3’ of a 96-well plate located at Position1 on the

SOLO’s deck on its first execution, then 75 uL from well ‘C4’ on its second

execution (see the LOOP step below):

The user has a number of parameters to select in an Aspirate step:

Select Type of Source –

Plate Position: A ‘Plate Position’ can be selected and identified by

clicking on one of the 4 possible deck plate-nest positions (Position1

to Position4) in the deck image above the selection box.

‘Named’ Point: if this is selected, the screen will change to that shown

at the end of this subsection below, allowing the user to select ANY

taught position, whether or not associated with a plate-nest. The

available points are selected from a drop-down list shown near the

center of the display, and the user would enter the desired

volume in the box immediately above this.
