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.
